What is the meaning of the name Lenda ?

The baby name Lenda is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LEN-dah,/ˈlɛn.də/.

Lenda is English, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Lenda is a modern feminine given name most common in English-speaking countries. It is often treated as a variant of Linda or as a blend of Lena and Linda, with additional influence from mid-century favorites like Glenda and Brenda. Through the Linda connection, it carries the Germanic element lind (“soft, gentle”) and the Romance sense of “pretty.” In Portuguese, lenda literally means “legend,” giving the name a contemporary word-name sheen for Lusophone families.

Documented in U.S. records from the 1930s, Lenda saw modest use through the 1960s and remains rare today; notable bearer Lenda Murray keeps it recognizable. Related forms include Linda, Lynda, Glenda, Belinda, and Melinda; Lena and Leni work as nicknames. Though not tied to a single tradition, Lenda’s meanings range from tender and lovely to legendary, offering a succinct, vintage-leaning choice with cross-linguistic resonance.
