My hunch was pretty close: it's a German nickname for Helenahttp://www.geocities.com/jesusib/Helena.htmlHaving a princess known as Lenchen *might* explain why an unusual German name could have found its way into a more mainstream naming pool. It's tenuous, but that's the best I can come up with!

CoolI suspected it'd work for Magdalena too, but I couldn't find any evidence for it so I didn't want to say it outright :-)
