Selina

Selina comes from the Latin word 'selena' and the Greek 'Selene', both meaning 'moon'. In Greek mythology, Selene was the enchanting goddess of the moon, which gives the name an ethereal and mysterious quality. If you're drawn to names with a celestial touch, Selina might just capture your heart with its quiet elegance and grace.

While Selina may not have ever broken into the top 100, it certainly had its moment in the spotlight. It enjoyed a solid 50-year run in the Top 1000 from 1959 to 2008, peaking at #371 in 1995. The name made quite a leap between 1942 and 1943, jumping up 1403 spots, although it did experience a sharp drop in 1946. As of 2024, Selina sits at #1307, reflecting its enduring charm even as trends shift.

Selina is a name that feels timeless yet modern, with a classic elegance that never seems to go out of style. It brings to mind someone who is graceful and perhaps a bit enigmatic, much like the moon itself. Whether for a baby or a character in a story, Selina offers a sense of sophistication and allure.
