Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lehel je maďarské mužské meno, mladší variant staromaďarského osobného mena Lél. Jeho základ sa pravdepodobne spája s maďarským slovom lélek vo význame „duša“, pôvodne aj „dych“. Meno preslávil maďarský vojvodca Lél, v neskoršej tradícii nazývaný Lehel, ktorý zomrel roku 955.
