Leiah
Leiah Origin and Meaning
Leiah is a modern feminine name that represents a beautiful variation of the classic Hebrew name Leah, which means "weary" or "delicate." This contemporary spelling adds sophistication and uniqueness to the traditional name while maintaining its biblical connections. The insertion of the letter 'i' creates a flowing, melodic quality when pronounced. Though less common than Leah, Lia, or Leia, this spelling variation has gained modest popularity in recent decades as parents seek distinctive alternatives to traditional names. Leiah blends well with current naming trends that favor vowel-rich feminine names with an exotic flair. The name carries the warmth and gentleness associated with its root name while offering a fresh, modern aesthetic appeal.
