Give Selene a notebook that's unmistakably hers. Selene's Notebook has her name in elegant script over a pink watercolor apple blossom cover.
Behind the Name says Selene means “moon” in Greek and was the name of a Greek goddess of the moon, a Titan, sometimes identified with Artemis. Wikipedia adds that Selene was the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, that her Roman counterpart is Luna, and that her name may be linked to selas, meaning “brightness,” though the etymology is uncertain.
Behind the Name lists Selena and Selina as English forms of Selene, with Sélène in French, Selini in Greek and Selin in Turkish. Salena and Salina are other related English names. Selena and Selina are the closest everyday cousins.
Wikipedia’s list of Selenes includes Selene Caramazza, born in 1993, an Italian actress, and Selene Luna, born in 1971, an American actress, comedian, burlesque performer and model. It also names Selene Gallio, a Marvel Comics supervillain. It also lists Selene Delgado, born in 1996, a Venezuelan model and beauty pageant titleholder, and Selene Vigil, born in 1965, an American singer and musician.
Selene never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart has it in the top 1,000 for 13 years between 1992 and 2025, best at 621st in 2025. It does better in Italy, where it was 141st in 2024, and in France, where the accented Sélène was 494th.
Wikipedia says Selene was an archaic lunar deity. Its list of people also points to several women named Cleopatra Selene. That makes it a natural gift for anyone who loves the night sky. Wikipedia gives her Roman equivalent as Luna, Latin for “moon,” so the same goddess stands behind both names.
Selene’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Selene’s Notebook” on the cover tells Selene it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
How big is Selene’s Notebook? 6" x 9", or about 15.2 x 22.9 cm. It’s a paperback with 160 lined pages inside.
