Leianne, of Latin origin, is a unique and charming feminine given name. It's a variation of the Latin name Leonora, which means 'bright' or 'shining light'. Leianne has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in English-speaking countries, due to its distinctive sound and spelling. This name offers a modern twist on classic names like Leonore or Leone, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking something slightly different yet familiar.
The name Leianne appears to have been relatively popular during the late 1950s and early 1960s, with a peak of nine births recorded in 1961. However, its popularity seems to have waned after that, with no more than eight births recorded in any subsequent year until it reached another peak of ten births in 1968. After this second peak, the name's popularity appears to have declined steadily, with five or fewer births recorded every year from 1972 onwards, and only two years (1982 and 1988) recording more than six births each. The most recent data point, from 2008, shows that Leianne was still being used as a baby name but at a much lower rate than in previous decades. Overall, there were a total of 117 recorded births with the name Leianne between 1958 and 2008.
