Where does the name Selena come from?
Selena is a Latinized form of Selene, says Behind the Name. Selene means “moon” in Greek and was the Titan goddess of the moon. Behind the Name notes the Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanilla (1971 to 1995) and the American actress and singer Selena Gomez (born 1992) as famous bearers. Wikipedia treats Selena as a probable variant of Selene, the moon goddess.
Other forms of Selena
Behind the Name lists Selina, Salena and Salina as English variants, and Selene as the mythological Greek form. Lena is a natural short form. Turkish Selin and French Sélène sit nearby on Behind the Name’s related list.
Well-known Selenas
Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, known mononymously as Selena, was an American singer-songwriter born April 16, 1971. Wikipedia says she is known as the “Queen of Tejano Music,” and that her contributions to popular music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. Media outlets also called her the “Tejano Madonna” for her clothing choices and stage style.
Selena’s popularity
Selena is a 1990s name in America. US Social Security data has it at 196th in the 1990s, when more than 15,000 girls were named Selena. Behind the Name has it 268th in the US and 324th in England and Wales in 2025, and 100th in Canada in 2022. France charted both Selena and Séléna in 2024, and Belgium had it 199th in 2013.
A few more things about Selena
Selene drove the moon across the sky. Behind the Name and Wikipedia say the Greek Titan goddess personified the moon, and that Selena is her Latinized name, so every Selena carries a lunar root. In myth she is sister to the sun god Helios and the dawn goddess Eos, a full sky family.
