Origin and meaning of Selene
Selene comes from the Greek selḗnē, 'moon': she was the divine personification of the moon, sister of the sun Helios. A poetic, nocturnal name, it recalls silvery light and the lunar cycle. Rare but refined in Italy, it is chosen by lovers of mythological and astronomical echoes; Selena and Séléné widen its reach in the Hispanic and French worlds.
