Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lena vznikla osamostatnením skrátených podôb mien zakončených na -lena, najmä Helena a Magdaléna. Helena pochádza z gréckeho mena Helénē s neistou etymológiou, tradične spájanou so svetlom či pochodňou. Magdaléna vychádza z gréckeho Magdalēnē, odvodeného od aramejského miestneho mena Magdala, teda označenia ženy pochádzajúcej z Magdaly.
