I could not find an Albanian word meaning "peace" or similar that even remotely resembles Ledina.

But I found the following:
http://forumi.shqiperia.com/threads/origjina-e-disa-emrave-te-perdorura-ne-shqiperi.3407/page-4

Here, Ledina is given as a variant of the name Lëndina. This happens to be (also) a common Albanian word meaning "meadow" or "meadows".

---

Now, it isn't clear what's the source of the name list given in that forum post, and thus hard to say whether we can trust the info given. But "meadows" fits well with a lot of other Albanian names that are also common words, often for things of nature.

Interestingly, ledina also seems to be an Old Church Slavonic word with a similar meaning, going back to the same Proto-Indoeuropean root as the common English word "land":

So maybe the Albanian word is a borrowing from Slavic (or also goes back to PIE).
