Артуровский аңыздағы Элейн есімдерінің алуан түрлері

Elaine is a name shared by several female characters in Arthurian legend, where they can also appear under different names depending on the source. They include Elaine of Astolat and Elaine of Corbenic among others.

Lady Elaine of Astolat (a common mistake misspelling of "Ascolat") or Elaine the Fair is a maiden daughter of the lord of Astolat (Ascolat, Escalot). She falls in unrequited love with Sir Lancelot, leading to her death of sorrow. In modern times, she is also often known as "The Lady of Shalott" after the eponymous poem.

Queen Elaine of Benoic (Old French: Élaine de Bénoïc; alternative forms including Elainne, Elene, Helaine, Helainne, Helayne and Helene; also known as Provida or Perevida) is wife of King Ban and birth mother of Lancelot. The Vulgate Cycle traces her descent to the holy bloodline of the biblical Israeli king David. Following the conquest of their kingdom of Benoic (known as Benwick in English) by King Claudas, the death of her husband, and the taking of the infant Lancelot by the Lady of the Lake, Elaine becomes known as the Queen of Great Sorrows, living as a nun along with her sister Evaine, the widowed wife of King Bors and mother of Sir Lionel and Sir Bors. In an alternate version from the Italian rewrite Tavola Ritonda, the queen is named Gostanza and she dies of distress just few days after Ban's death and Lancelot's premature birth. The early and even more distinctive German book Lanzelet calls its eponymous hero's mother Clarine and makes her a sister of Arthur.

Princess Elaine of Corbenic (also known as Amite, and alternatively written Helaine, Heliaebel or Helizabel) is daughter of King Pelles of Corbenic, descended from Joseph of Arimathea. She is identified as "The Grail Maiden" or "Grail Bearer" due to her connection to the Holy Grail. In the Vulgate Cycle, Lady Elaine becomes mother of Sir Galahad after raping Sir Lancelot and later lives with Lancelot as his wife for several years.

Queen Elaine of Garlot (Garloth) or Elaine of Tintagel, originally known as Blasine (Blaasine, Basyne) in the Vulgate Merlin, is one of the daughters of Gorlois and Igraine. She is a sister to Morgan and Morgause and a half sister to Arthur. Elaine marries King Nentres of Garlot and has a son named Galeschin, who becomes a Knight of the Round Table, and a daughter also named Elaine. The form Elaine (Elayne) was invented by Le Morte d'Arthur author Thomas Malory and without an identifying moniker "of Galot[h]" which he only used for her husband. All texts mention her only very briefly and there is a confusion regarding the sisters within the Vulgate Cycle, with either Belisent (Morgause) or Morgain (Morgan) replacing her as the wife of Nentres in the variants of the Vulgate Merlin Continuation.

Lady Elaine the Peerless (Elaine sans Pere, Helaine the Peerless, Helayn Withouten Pere, Heleine sans Pair, Heliene sans Per, Heliene without Equal) is niece of the Lord of the Fens and wife of Persidés the Red of Corbenic. She is introduced in the Vulgate Lancelot wherein she is freed from her captivity in her husband's castle by Hector de Maris.

Princess Elaine (Elainne), daughter of King Nentres and Queen Elaine (Didot Perceval casts her as a child of King Lot named Aleine). She is a niece of King Arthur and either a sister or cousin of Gawain who falls in love with Perceval. Possibly the same as Elaine the Peerless. Princess Elaine (Eleine), daughter of King Pellinore in Le Morte d'Arthur. Usually named Claire in other texts. Elaine, an alternative name of Viviane, the Lady of the Lake in the Sommer version of the Vulgate Cycle. Mike Ashley identified her with Arthur's sister Elaine.
