Leesa Origin and Meaning

The name Leesa is a girl's name of Dutch origin meaning "pledged to God".

Leesa is a feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Lisa, which itself derives from Elisabeth or Elizabeth, a Hebrew name meaning 'God is my oath' or 'consecrated to God.' This alternative spelling became popular in the mid-20th century as parents sought more distinctive ways to write familiar names.

The double 'e' gives Leesa a softer, more melodic quality compared to the traditional Lisa. While never reaching the top-tier popularity of Lisa (which peaked in the 1960s-70s), Leesa has a familiarity that makes it seem less rare than it is..
