Once a diminutive, a name loved by parents for years. Next year it may drop out of the ranking

Choosing for a child is difficult because it affects the future life. It turns out that many parents choose them guided by fashion, which changes over time. Lena, a short female name, was a popular name a few years ago, and now it is chosen less and less.

Once a diminutive, for several years a name loved by parents. It may be dropped from the rankings soon

Lena is a diminutive of many others, for example Helena, Magdalena, Milena or Leonia. It first appeared on its own around the 15th century. Just a few years ago, in the years 2011-2014, it beat popularity rankings among the most frequently chosen female names by parents – for example, in 2012 they were given to as many as 12,064 girls. No wonder – it sounds elegant, delicate and soft.

In 2020, Lena took 6th place in the popularity ranking, in 2021 – 9th place, and in 10th place (it was given 3811 times). This means that the trend is downward, and in just a few years the name may disappear from high positions. All because of the changing fashion. Now the most popular female names for several years remain Zofia, Zuzanna and Hanna.

Where does the name Lena occur? Women with this name tend to be spontaneous

The name Lena has its counterparts in many. English Ellen, French Hélène or Czech Lenka are just a few of them.

In terms of character and disposition, he usually enjoys the interest of the opposite sex. She is fair and knows how to manage, which is why she works well as a boss. She is spontaneous, smiling, resolute and optimistic about life. Other women often enjoy her company, because where Lena is, there is joy and fun. When he has a bad day, he needs a moment of silence, after which he quickly returns to form. Lena celebrates name days on April 24, August 18 and November 10.
