Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Lenke je maďarské ženské meno utvorené v 19. storočí pomaďarčením nemeckej domáckej podoby Lenchen a slovanskej podoby Lenka. Tieto podoby sa spájajú najmä s menami Helena a Magdaléna, ich grécky či aramejský pôvod však patrí k vzdialenejšej etymologickej vrstve, nie k bezprostrednému pôvodu mena Lenke.
