Leyna
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Leyna: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1980.
Leyna is a modern spelling variant of Lena, which itself derives from Helena, the Greek name meaning "torch" or "light," or from Magdalena, the Latinised form of the place name Magdala, meaning "tower" in Hebrew. One notable bearer is Leyna Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American news anchor, though the name remains relatively rare among famous figures. While no places are directly named after a Leyna, the root "leyna" appears as a river name in Norway, unrelated to the given name. This stylish spelling—often associated with the soft, melodic sound of Lina or Leona—has gained quiet popularity in Scotland since the 2000s
