I wondered how people living in the UK (we're in London) most commonly pronounce this name?
Would you say
Eh Len a?
Or
E lay na?

Anyone with knowledge of eastern european languages could also pronounce it YE-LAY-NA so you might also get this as an option.

EH-Le-Nuh with stress on first syllable
Like the pronunciation of Eleanor
North west
Quite a few round here
I know one well and she has few problems but def gets the occasional eh-LAY-na

I know an El-eh-na but where I live (abroad) its pronounced 'Ellen-a' so prepare for that too!

El lay na

I’m in the the north and would say Eh Len a.

However, I prefer the pronunciation E lay na but seeing it written down I’d instantly read it as Eh Len a.
