Lenja Name meanings & History

Lenja is a Scandinavian and Slavic name. The exact meaning of Lenja is uncertain, but it is believed to be a variant of the name Lena, which means "torch" or "bright light". Most likely a German invention, created by combining the popular name Lena with other names that were popular in Germany such as Anja, Maja, Tanja or Katja. It is often claimed to be a Russian diminutive of Helena, Yelena or Elena but this seems to be untrue. The name gained popularity in Germany, peaking in the 2010s, and has since fallen rather quickly. Lenja is primarily used in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
