Answer #1

The name (and tradition) may have its origins in the middle-eastern traditions of the middle-east were “hennah night” (Arabic: ليلة الحنة) is the women-only party prior to weddings with the bride painting Henna over her body and changing dresses throughout the party.

Thats what Wikipedia said.
