Leahann is a unique and beautiful name of Hebrew origin, meaning "night beauty" or "lioness". It is derived from the elements leah, meaning "night", and ann, meaning "grace" or "beauty". Leahann is often used as a variant spelling of the more common name Leannah. In the Bible, Leah was one of the two wives of Jacob, and her story is told in Genesis chapters 29-30. However, it's important to note that Leahann is not directly connected to this biblical figure, but rather shares its root meaning. Throughout history, variations of this name have been used among various cultures and languages, with notable examples including Leanne and Lane in English-speaking countries, Léane in French-speaking regions, and Lía in Spanish-speaking ones. Today, Leahann remains a distinctive and charming choice for parents seeking a name that combines strength and grace.
The name Leahann appears to have been most popular around the year 1990, with a peak of 14 babies born that year. However, it seems to have been steadily declining in usage since then, as there was only one year (2002) between 1989 and present where more than five births were recorded.
