Definition
A female given name used for a person. It is a proper noun, so it is usually capitalized as 'Ellen'.
Usage & Nuances
This is a proper name, not a common vocabulary word. It usually refers to a specific person, so it is not translated in the normal sense; in other languages, it is typically kept as a phonetic form. Use it without an article in most cases: 'Ellen is here,' not 'the Ellen'.
