Leeanna

Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Leeanna: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1978.

Leeanna is a modern, melodic name blending Lee, from the Old English *leah* meaning “meadow” or “clearing,” with Anna, the Hebrew name for “grace.” It emerged as a distinctive variant of Leanna or Liana, gaining popularity in Scotland during the 1970s and 1980s. Notable bearers include Leeanna Walshe, an American actress known for her role in *The L Word* and TV dramas, and Leeanna Lloyde, a New Zealand-born artist. The root element “Lee” connects to countless Scottish and English place names such as Lee in Lanarkshire and Lee-on-the-Solent, all deriving from the same Old English word. With its double-barrelled charm, Leeanna offers a fresh twist on classic Anna while nodding to nature and grace—an appealing choice for parents seeking something feminine yet grounded.
