Leasa

Girl name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Leasa: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1980.

Leasa is a Scottish variant of Lisa, which itself is a diminutive of the classic name Elizabeth. Elizabeth traces its roots to the Hebrew Elisheva, meaning "God is my oath," a name borne by saints, queens, and countless women through history. Leasa has appeared on Scottish birth records since the 1970s, though it remains relatively uncommon, lending it an understated charm. Its melodic two-syllable flow offers a softer, more distinctive alternative to the more widespread Lisa, while still carrying the weight of Elizabeth’s rich heritage. For parents seeking a name that feels both familiar and quietly Scottish, Leasa provides a graceful link to tradition without being overly popular.
