History & Origin

Lessiah is a newly emerging modern coinage. It follows the -siah pattern found in the biblical Josiah and Isaiah and in the word Messiah, a pattern that has been unusually productive in recent American naming. We have found no documented etymology behind Lessiah itself and do not invent one - routes uncertain, which we note (said 'leh-SY-uh').

It appears only very rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, invented, and current.

Did you know? The -siah ending has become one of the most creative corners of American naming - Josiah, Isaiah, Messiah, Lessiah. The last of those is a coinage with no documented etymology, which we note plainly (said 'leh-SY-uh').
