Elaine
Girl's Greek name
Elaine is a feminine given name, a French form of Helen.
It gained literary resonance through Arthurian legend—Elaine of Astolat died of unrequited love for Lancelot, and Elaine of Corbenic bore him Galahad.
The name enjoyed particular popularity in mid-20th-century America: Elaine was one of the most popular names for girls born in the 1940s.
