Is the name Lehne common or ?

Question

I am told my ancestors came from what was Prussia and that Lehne was one of minor royalty.

Answer 1

Although I live in Germany, I have never heard of Lehne or Prussia before. I know the name Lena is very popular...maybe this helps.

Answer 2

i checked that name on website and it seems a little common name...most of them are authors.

Answer 3

I don't think that the name Lehne (if originally spelled this way) is truly that common. Common names in Germany are Schulze or Mueller (with the Umlaut). Prussia in German is called Preußen and  was once one of the larger 'kingdoms' before Germany became one state. Prussia was in the north east of the country and surrounded Berlin
