There have been two singers named Lena. Lena Philipsson (real name Maria Philipsson) is a Swedish singer who represented her country in 2004 Eurovision with "It Hurts". She automatically qualified due to Fame's success last year, she did what Fame did and cracked the Top 10. Lena Meyer-Landrut is a German singer who represented her country in 2010 and 2011 Eurovision with "Satellite" (2010) and "Taken By A Stranger" (2011). She is a member of the now Big 5 (Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and United Kingdom) so she automatically qualified both times. She won in 2010 with "Satellite" and cracked the Top 10 in 2011 with "Taken By A Stranger".

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Lena Horne. "Lena Mary Calhoun Horne (June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010) was an African American jazz and pop music singer, dancer, actress, and civil rights activist. Horne's career spanned over 70 years appearing in film, television, and theater." (Wikipedia)
This is also the name of my great-aunt. We were late German immigrants and her name was pronounced Lee' nah. And we never changed our last name from the German pronunciation so I don't think it was anglicized.

Nobody has mentioned the cartoon character Lena the Hyena. They warn about it in a name book I have, but hopefully that reference is outdated, because it is such a nice name.

There was indeed a character named Lena the Hyena, the subject of a running gag in Al Capp's comic strip Li'l Abner, where she was described as the ugliest woman in the world. Her face was always covered with an editorial note "to protect the reader." In 1946, a contest to draw her was won by Basil Wolverton. (See the Wikipedia article on Wolverton if you want to see her. Be warned!) She appeared briefly as a character in the 1988 movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Capp's strip ran from 1934 to 1977. (It is thus understandable that the second Anonymous Reader, who was 30 in 2015, never heard of her.)
