Lenin

Meaning

Proper Noun

• Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, a Russian revolutionary and politician.

Origin

• Transliteration of Russian Ле́нин, probably due to the use of a passport of the friend, Nikolay Lenin, whose surname originated from the Siberian Lena river. It is commonly believed that the Lena derives its name from the original Even-Evenk name Elyu-Ene, which means "the Large River".
