Leann
Meaning of Leann
Leann, pronounced LEE-an (/ˈli.ən/), is a feminine name that melds the Old English element “Lee,” meaning meadow, with the Latin form of the Hebrew name “Anna,” signifying grace. First seen in English records in the early 20th century, it gained traction during mid-century America before stabilizing into a quiet presence—ranked 910th with 40 newborns in 2024—reflecting a modest resurgence among parents seeking classic simplicity. Its clean, two-syllable structure and soft vowel sounds lend Leann a balanced, timeless quality that resonates across linguistic borders, finding particular favor in Spanish-speaking communities where melodic clarity and cultural versatility are prized. In expository terms, Leann offers both historical depth and contemporary appeal, making it a choice that bridges Anglo-Saxon roots with broader Latin flair.
