History & Origin

Zaleah is a modern blend joining a Za- opening with Leah — from Hebrew Leah, variously 'weary', 'tender', or 'delicate' (and linked to Akkadian, 'a wild cow'; the first wife of Jacob; routes layered, which we note). A soft, lyrical, modern name; the sound carries it (said 'zə-LEE-ah').

It registers thinly in records. Rare, tender at the (Leah) root, and lyrical.
