Names That Mean Wet

With a distinctive sound and a robust feel, Laith is a name that also has a touch of breezy charm to it. Currently in the UK Top 1000, it is a cross-cultural boy name that's also on the rise in the US. 
 
As an Arabic name, it has a cool, leonine meaning that feels right on trend (think Leo, Leander, Ariel and Azlan), while as a Scottish name, it derives from the name of the river Leith in Edinburgh, appropriately meaning "wet, damp". An alternative possibility however, is that is comes from the habitational surname, Laithen meaning "settlement by the watercourse". This might account for the spelling and pronunciation difference. 
 
Also spelled Layth in Arabic, Laith was given to around 200 boys in the US in a recent year, nearly double the name who received it a decade ago. 
 
Notable bearers include actor Laith Nakli, and model, singer, activist, and actor Laith Ashley, while Laith and Layla is a children's cartoon series.
