Etymology
Lenna started with a newly established post office around Stidham. Local officials held a contest to name the post office. People were invited to submit names for a drawing to select a list of names to be considered. Tom Moore[1] dropped into the box all the names of his children. His daughter Lenna's name was drawn, thus Lenna (Full name Lennie Doddy Moore[2]), Oklahoma. The book "Oklahoma Place Names" lists Lenna as being named after a local Creek Indian.[1]
