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.
