Has information in English about this word. I say it "Ellenika", but "Hellinka" is the name for the greek language.
"Elena" is the word for "Helen"...there are many variations of this name. I read that the origin is Greek and the word means "torch", but maybe the smart greek lady who drops in here once in awhile can shed some light on that. I mean Calliope, of course. Source for Helen is Webster's dictionary.
