I really like this name. I used to think it looked incomplete in comparison with Ellen, but now it just has a completely different feel. While Ellen feels a bit more stately, dignified and sophisticated, Elen has an elfin, fairy-like, lighter feel to it. So I like both equally as much. I do prefer Helen to Elen though.

This name is becoming more and more popular in the Czech Republic as another form of the name Elena (which is, in the Czech Republic, more associated with Slovakian or Russian names. Russian form is pronounced Jelena.). Elena, however, has been in the official Czech nameday calendar for a long time. Elen has not been entered in the calendar yet but celebrates nameday on 16/03, same as Elena.
In 2014, 288 babies were named Elen.
There were 195 Elens in Prague in 2014.

I really like this name, partly because it's my name. Also, I find that it's quite unique, as I've only ever met one other Elen. I've met plenty of Ellens. Also, I find that it can be quite annoying if you have English relatives or friends who call you Ellen. Plus, I have friends who can say Elen but they say Ellen.

Both Elen and Elin are Welsh forms of Helen, although the latter is more common. The eldest daughter of Llywelyn Fawr (Prince Llywelyn the Great, 12th-13th centuries) had the endearing half-rhyming name Elen ferch Llywelyn.

Sorry, just to clarify, what I meant to say was that Elen and Elin are both *Welsh names*; quite possibly the derivation of Elen is from the word for a nymph, as moonlet says, and not from Helen -- I'm no etymological expert.

It's not really the Welsh form of Helen. The name 'Elen' is rare. It's rather old and originated in Wales from their word 'elen' (nymph). It's my name, so I did good research on it.
