History & Origin

Leea is an elaborated form of Lea or Leah, the name of Jacob's first wife in the Bible. Leah is usually rendered weary, with an alternate link to a word for wild cow; Leea keeps that lineage while the doubled vowel gives the short name a softer, modern look.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its early-2000s peak, reaching into recent years. A Leea from that time is in her twenties now; Leah is popular today, while this exact spelling stays a rare variant.

Did you know? Leea is one of several inventive spellings of the ancient Leah, part of a modern fashion for adding or doubling vowels in short names.
