Some possible variants of the name are:
Dilen, Dilena, Dilene, Dilenea, Dilenes, Dileni, Dilenia, Dilenie, Dilenna, Dilennia, Dilenny, Dileny.
The name Dilen seems to be an Irish variant of the name Dillon (of Irish and Gaelic origin), meaning "like a lion; loyal":

The French name Dilan might be related. This means "like a lion", of Irish origin. But Dilan can also have an Indian origin, meaning "Son of the sea"

But it might also be possible that the name Dilenia comes from Dillenia: evergreen tree or shrub of the genus Dillenia
