The name has no specific meaning. It is thought that it comes from the River Lena, which flows through Siberia. Lenin had been exiled there from 1897 to 1900. He began using the name in 1901.

What was Lenin's revolutionary party called?

Lenin's party was called the Bolsheviks, meaning majorityites, which was one faction of the Russian Marxist party. The other faction was called the Mensheviks, meaning minorityites. The irony is that there were more Mensheviks than Bolsheviks in the Marxist party, but Lenin chose that name for his faction because it held a temporary majority of one vote for a brief period of time. It was a huge psychological advantage over the other faction.
