Lesa

Lesa is a feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant of Lisa, which derives from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning 'God is my oath.' Alternatively, it could be related to the Greek name Leesa or the Hungarian Leza. Lesa has a soft, melodic quality that has appealed to parents looking for something slightly different from the more common Lisa. The name enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, reaching its peak in the late 1960s. Though never ranking among the top names, Lesa offers a gentle, feminine sound while maintaining simplicity. Today, it's less common for newborns but carries a classic feel that avoids feeling dated.

Pronounced LEE-suh.

As of October 2026, Lesa ranked #14883 in US births in 2018 SSA, peaked at #340 in 1962.
