History & Origin

Leeann is a compound of Lee — Old English leah, 'meadow, clearing' — and Ann, from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace'. Part of the mid-century American love of Ann-blends, it reads as warm, friendly, and country-sweet.

It registers as an uncommon vintage blend today. Meadow-and-grace at the root, homey, and retro.

Did you know? Leeann and its cousins (Leanne, Lee Ann) belong to the great mid-twentieth-century fashion for Ann-compounds — Roseann, Julieann, Maryann — that turned two short names into one.
