Lenin
- /ˈlɛn.ɪn/
Sounds like Lennon (one pronunciation) · Rhymes with -ɛnɪn
Where it comes from
Transliteration of Russian Ле́нин (Lénin), 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". By surface analysis, Lena + -in, "the man from the Lena". Another street name of a fellow Old Bolshevik conspirator, Stalin (“the man of steel”), is comparable as an alias based on an alleged attribute; and Bukharin is morphologically comparable as "a person from said place" (Bukhara + -in) but was Nikolai Bukharin's real surname rather than a street name.
proper noun
- Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, a Russian revolutionary and politician. 'He means the other Lennon,' Slowey's voice said. ' John Lennon from the Beatles.' And Farley saw him then, on the bend of the counter smoking a cigar. Slowey then turned to the barman, '... and he means the other Lenin, you know, the Russian revolutionary?'
