The name's origins are uncertain, but it may have been formed by combining popular name elements from the early 20th century. Despite its long history, Ladena has never been common, and it continues to be used sparingly today.

Ladena first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1922, but its origins are unclear. It may be a feminine variation of the name Ladd or a blend of popular mid-century elements such as La- and -dena. The name saw its peak usage in 1975 but has remained rare throughout its history.
