Why do you think of this name?

I am kind of fond of the name "ilenna" it's pronounced ( ill-ee-enah). It sounds exotic I think:) haha

    Phonetically, your spelling should be pronounced either as eye-LEN-ah or ill-LEN-ah.

    To come closer to the pronunciation you seem to want, try

    ILEANA

    Pronounced: ih-lee-AH-nah

    GENDER: Feminine

    USAGE: Romanian, Spanish

    Meaning & History

    Possibly a Romanian variant of HELEN.

    It rarely gets misspelled or mispronounced but is still quite unusual.

    That's really pretty! I like names that aren't spelled the way everyone else spells it :)
