To climb, to be weary, or a meadow
Leanah is a modern spelling variant that likely blends the Hebrew name Leah, meaning 'weary,' with the Latin-derived Alana or the English suffix -nah. It may also be interpreted as a variation of Liana, referring to a climbing tropical vine, or the Old English 'leah' meaning a meadow or clearing.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Leanah in 2025.
