Lenins

Lenins is a surname used in Latvia and among Baltic communities, serving as the Latvian form of the Russian surname Lenin. It is part of a broader pattern in which foreign surnames are adapted to Latvian spelling and pronunciation.

In Latvian, Lenins is a masculine surname. The feminine form of the name is Lenina, following common Latvian patterns for gendered surnames. As with other Latvianized surnames, Lenins changes form to agree with the bearer’s gender in all grammatical cases.

The surname is relatively uncommon and appears most frequently in Latvia and among Baltic diaspora populations. In non-Latvian contexts, individuals with the name may be identified simply as Lenins, preserving the original spelling of the family name. The name carries no intrinsic meaning beyond its role as an identifier for a family lineage, and its usage follows standard patterns for Latvian surnames.

Notable bearers of Lenins in public English-language records are not widely documented, and the name is usually encountered in genealogical or regional contexts rather than as a widely recognized historical label. For related information, see Lenin (surname) and Vladimir Lenin.
