Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Staré uhorské osobné meno s neistou etymológiou. Tradične sa vykladá ako maďarský derivát slovesa lenni „byť“, a teda vo význame „jestvujúci“ či „malá bytosť“. Podľa inej odbornej hypotézy môže ísť o prevzaté slovanské osobné meno utvorené od koreňa lov- „lov, loviť“ príponou -ęta. Neskoršie spojenie s maďarským všeobecným menom levente „mladý bojovník, junák“ je druhotné.
