Sure thing! One thing to point out: it's pronounced as yelena, it's actually the same name as Ellen or Helen. So, it's actually derived from 'helios', meaning the Sun. Has nothing to do with deers, but coincidentally, in my language, the word for 'deer' is jelen (ponounciation: yelen), so that's where that comes from. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
