Leanna
Girl name · 89 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Leanna: 89 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 7 births in 2009.
Leanna is a name with a gentle, melodic quality, most commonly considered a modern combination of the prefix "Lea-" with the popular suffix "-anna," blending the sounds of names like Leah and Anna. It can also be seen as a variant of Liana, a short form of Eliana, which has Hebrew origins meaning "My God has answered." A notable bearer is the American actress Leanna Creel, known for her role on the sitcom *Saved by the Bell*. There is no direct place connection, but its root shares territory with the River Liane in France. The name is often considered a more delicate, flowing alternative to the similarly pronounced Leanne or Leeann, and it saw modest but consistent use in Scotland from the 1970s onwards.
