Lenna is a small rural community in McIntosh County, Oklahoma, USA. The post office was established January 4, 1902. It was named for Lenna Moore, a local Creek Indian.[1]
How Lenna was named it all started with a newly established post office around Stidham, OK. In order to pick a name it was decided by the local officials to hold a contest to name the Post Office aka the town. People were invited to submit names and a drawing would be made to select a list of names to be considered. Tom Moore[1] dropped into the name box all the names of his Children. His daughter, Lenna's name was dawned, thus Lenna(Full name Lennie Doddy Moore[2]), Oklahoma. In the book "Oklahoma Place Names" lists Lenna as being named after a local Creek Indian.[1]
