Meaning & origin
Lenda is a rare American name first recorded in 1917. Its peak usage came in 1947, but even then it never reached the top 1000. The name has seen stable, very low usage over the decades, with no recent surge in popularity. While its meaning is uncertain, it likely emerged as a variant of Linda or a feminine form of Leland. With no top states and a trajectory that remains flat, Lenda is an uncommon choice that has never gained widespread attention.
Lenda first appeared in U.S. records in 1917, but its exact derivation is unclear. It may be a modern invention, perhaps a respelling of Linda (Spanish for 'pretty') or a feminine adaptation of the surname Leland. It saw modest use in the 1940s and has remained stable at low frequency ever since.
