Lena is a female given name. The name has evolved in different languages as a variation of several earlier names. In some derivations, Lena comes from the endings of Alina and Helena. Lena is also a diminutive or short form for names that end with -line, such as Caroline, Adeline, and Madeline. Leana is seen in Hindi and Swedish, and Leena in Finnish. The Scandinavian version for the name Helen is Lena; here, it means "torch", metaphorically representing something that shows light and leads the path.
Lena is also used in Italian surnames such as Della Lena. Lena is a short form of Elena in Romanian and Russian. In Hebrew, it means "Woman of Magdala", "Leana" in Hindi means "Sunlight", in Arabic it means "tender" or "devoted", and in Greek it means "sunlight" or "moonlight".
