Leannah
Meaning of Leannah
Pronounced lee-AN-uh (/liˈanə/), Leannah is an English-language feminine given name constructed through the amalgamation of the Old English element leah, referring to a lightly wooded meadow or clearing, and the Hebrew channah, meaning “grace” or “favor.” As a variant of Leanna and an orthographic adaptation of the biblical Hannah, it occupies a position within the Anglo-American naming tradition that both honours scriptural precedent and draws upon vernacular topographical imagery. In the United States, its popularity has remained modest, with annual newborn occurrences ranging from five to nineteen since 2011 and a steady rank near the 940th position—specifically, a count of seven births and a 943rd-place ranking in 2024—thereby reflecting its status as an uncommon yet technically resonant choice. Through this dual heritage, Leannah conveys a combination of pastoral serenity and classical virtue, appealing to parents who seek a name characterised by both etymological depth and understated distinction.
