lénin Lênin Lê nin Lê-nin
English
Etymology
en evn
Transliteration of en ru Ле́нин, probably due to the use of a passport of a 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". en Lena -in, "the man from the Lena". Another en street name of a person of a fellow Old Bolshevik conspirator, en Stalin the man of steel, is comparable as an alias based on an alleged attribute; and Nikolai Bukharin Bukharin is morphologically comparable as "a person from said place" (en Bukhara + en -in) but was Nikolai Bukharin's real surname rather than a street name.
