Leen is an Arabic girl's name, from the word lin, meaning "tender" or "soft"; it is popular in the Levant and the Gulf. In Dutch and Flemish it is also a short form of Helena and Magdalena, which makes the name feel at home in two very different cultures. In the United States Leen has stayed between number 1776, its best rank in 2024, and about 2280 for a decade, and stands at number 1852 in 2025.
