Leanne is a modern English name, typically formed by blending Lee, from the Old English *leah* meaning "clearing" or "meadow," with Anne, the French form of Hannah, meaning "grace." This combination gives the name a gentle, pastoral feel. Famous bearers include American country singer Leanne Rimes, known for her hit "Can't Fight the Moonlight," and Welsh politician Leanne Wood, who led Plaid Cymru. While no major place connections exist, the name shares its roots with countless places called Lee or Leigh across Scotland and England. Leanne enjoyed peak popularity in Scotland during the 1970s and 1980s, with variants such as Leann and Leeann also appearing—a classic example
