Re: names that mean deer
The Bulgarian female name Åëåíà (Elena) obviously comes from the Saint Helen, the mother of Saint Constantine, and therefore from the beautiful Helen depicted by Homer.On the other hand, deer in Bulgarian is åëåí (elen). So, some people believe that those words are related.Moreover, there is a male name Åëåíêî(Elenko). I cannot say if it is related to Saint Helen or to the Slavic word for "deer".
