Identification of Greek town?

[katjaeb]

A 1912 Greek immigrant's passenger list claims he was from "Beline," Corinthia. His U.S. naturalization papers say "Vellena." Obviously, they're phonetically similar, but to which actual city in Greece is this referring?

The Greek letter B β / Beta  is pronounced  V  as in “vet”

See google maps:
Βέλο, Corinthia
Velo, Corinthia

That would be a first lead to locating the place

Great spot!

As the Greek word for Greece is (anglicised spelling) Hellas, and the people were Hellenes, is it possible that people from Velo called themselves Vellenes and the officials assumed Vellene was the town rather than the inhabitant?
