Not that I've been able to find, either <Ealeen> specifically or 'ee' in 
general.  The closest approximation I spotted was <Ealhwine> (apparently a 
masculine name.)

A Google search indicates that <Ealeen> is in current use as a given name, 
but did not suggest to me a possible historical culture of origin.  This 
makes me wonder whether it may be a modern invention and/or transliteration 
(some of the associated surnames are Oriental.)

I found no registered instances of <Ealeen> in the SCA, and I have yet to 
find any indication that anyone else is using it unregistered.

I'm sorry I can't be more encouraging.
