Meaning & History

This name was invented by the British author Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), who apparently intended it to be a feminine form of the surname Lenin, Lenin being the founder of the former Soviet state. In his novel 'Brave New World' (1932) Lenina Crowne is the central female character.

Used as a given name in Latin America.
