Elena
I know on this site(and most others) it says Elena is a form of Helen, I was wondering if Elena is a traditional spanish name(and if so, what is the meaning), or is a spanish version, really from HelenThanks

It's Helen in Spanish.See, the H in Spanish is silent so it would be pronounced Elen anyways. And as most latinized names have an "a" at the end it became Elena.

Unless anyone can produce evidence to the contrary, Elena is a form of Helen :)
