Helen Ross: Hello, my name is Helen Ross. My surname, Ross, spelled R-O-S-S for Sam, is my married name. But, my birth name is Helen McKenzie. My first name, Helen, spelled H-E-L-E-N, is pronounced Helen, with the emphasis on the first syllable, or first beat of the name.

The name Helen is of Greek origin, and means sun ray, or shining light. I like to think I live up to that name by being happy and kind. Helen is a very popular first name for females, and there are some very famous writers and actresses with the first name of Helen. And Helen rhymes with melon, as in watermelon.
