Lea-Anne: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1981.
Lea-Anne blends two classic names, each with deep roots. Lea, often derived from the Hebrew Leah, means “weary,” but also shares an Old English origin meaning “meadow” or “clearing,” while Anne, from the Hebrew Hannah, means “grace.” This combination became popular in Scotland from the 1970s onward, reflecting a tradition of hyphenated names that unite simplicity with elegance. Among notable bearers, the name is shared by Lea-Anne Ellison, a Scottish actress known for stage and screen, though it is more commonly seen in its un-hyphenated form, Leanne. The first element, Lea, also appears in place names
