Leam

Leam Origin and Meaning

The name Leam is a boy's name.

Leam is a succinct masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a shortened form of Liam (Irish variant of William meaning 'resolute protection'), a variation of the Hebrew name Liem ('my people'), or derived from the River Leam in England (where Leamington Spa is located). The name has a crisp, modern sound despite potential ancient roots. Leam remains quite rare internationally, appealing to parents seeking short, strong-sounding names that resist overly complicated pronunciations. Its brevity gives it contemporary appeal while its possible connections to nature (the river) add meaningful depth.
