Ooh, look what I found . . .

My hunch was pretty close: it's a German nickname for Helena

Having a princess known as Lenchen *might* explain why an unusual German name could have found its way into a more mainstream naming pool. It's tenuous, but that's the best I can come up with!

Cool

I suspected it'd work for Magdalena too, but I couldn't find any evidence for it so I didn't want to say it outright :-)
