Leafar

A modern invention, put on the map by tattoo artist and entrepreneur, Kat Von D, who chose the name for her son in 2018. He is named for his father, musician and writer Rafael Reyes (also known as Leafar Seyers). As such, Leafar is literally Rafael backwards, placing it in the same category as Nevaeh and Revilo, though Leafar has a bonus nature-y feel.

Backwards names pose an interesting question when it comes to meaning: should that be reversed and turned on its head, just as the letters are? Rafael means "God has healed", so would Leafar mean the same or would it mean "God has hurt" or "has healed God"? That's up to you to decide.

Pronounced LEE-fahr.
