Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

A name indirectly linked to Helena or Magdalena, without a single fixed meaning.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lenke je maďarské ženské meno utvorené v 19. storočí pomaďarčením nemeckej domáckej podoby Lenchen a slovanskej podoby Lenka. Tieto podoby sa spájajú najmä s menami Helena a Magdaléna, ich grécky či aramejský pôvod však patrí k vzdialenejšej etymologickej vrstve, nie k bezprostrednému pôvodu mena Lenke.
