Meaning & History

Probably derived from the toponym Σελινούς (Selinous), itself meaning "full of celery" from Ancient Greek σέλινον (selinon) "celery". This was the name of a king of Aegalea (present-day Aigio) in Greek mythology, who resolved his war with Ion by offering him his only daughter Helice as wife.
