Biography
Celina Consuela Gabriella Carvajal was born in San Francisco, California, on January 30, 1980, to Carlos and Carolyn (née Houser) Carvajal. Her father is a ballet dancer, choreographer and the co-artistic director for the annual San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival;[9] her mother was a prima ballerina and is now a yogi master.[10][11][12][13]
She has Swedish, Spanish & Filipino ancestry.[14] Her paternal grandfather arrived from Southeast Asia Philippines to San Francisco in 1926,[15] and her paternal grandmother is Swedish.[16] Her sister is Calliope "Calli" Carvajal, a hair stylist.[1]
Hall changed her professional name from "Celina Carvajal" to Lena Hall in 2013, saying she had created it for her music persona and now wanted to use it for her acting career as well.[20] She explained her name change to Broadway.com: "Multiple people in the industry suggested I have one name for everything. [Lena Hall] is just two shortenings of my first name and my last name. So Lena Hall is Celina Carvajal. It seemed like an easier way of people getting to know me. Lena Hall is a nice symmetrical name, and it reminds people of Lena Horne, who was a singer. And when people hear my name, I want them to think of a singer".[20] She later found out that "Carvajal" is actually a stage name taken seven generations back that became a family name.[21] Hall said that it was one of the reasons why she was able to let go of the Carvajal name because it was a stage name, and it felt like her ancestors would agree with her name change.[21]
In December 2018, she announced her engagement to Jonathan Stein.[22] They married on May 27, 2019.[23]
