Two Syllable Names for Girls

Leighanne is a feminine name that combines the names Leigh and Anne, creating a compound name with English and Hebrew origins. Leigh derives from Old English meaning 'meadow' or 'clearing,' while Anne comes from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' This compound construction gained popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s, when hyphenated and compound names were trending. The spelling variation using 'leigh' instead of 'lee' adds a touch of elaboration and distinction. While not among the most common names, Leighanne appeals to parents seeking a traditionally feminine name with a somewhat Southern American charm. The name conveys a gentle, graceful quality while maintaining a distinctive spelling that sets it apart from the more common Lee-Ann or Leanne variations.
