What does the name Leah mean?
Leah is a biblical name. Behind the Name derives it from the Hebrew Leʾa, probably from a word meaning “weary, grieved”, or perhaps from the Akkadian littu, “cow”. In the Old Testament Leah is the first wife of Jacob and the mother of seven of his children. Behind the Name says it was used by Jews in the Middle Ages but did not become a typical English Christian name until after the Protestant Reformation, when it was common among the Puritans. Wikipedia adds that its meaning is often given as “delicate” or “weary”.
Leah nicknames and other forms
Leah is short, so its variety comes from other languages. Behind the Name lists Lea as a variant, Léa in French, Lia in Italian and Portuguese, Leia in Portuguese and Liya in Russian, and Wikipedia adds the Irish Liadh. Léa and Lia make pretty alternatives.
Some famous Leahs
Leah Williamson captained England to their first UEFA Women’s European Championship title in 2022, the women’s team’s first international trophy, and has spent her whole senior career at Arsenal. Leah Goldberg was a Hebrew-language poet, playwright, translator and illustrator whose children’s books, including Room for Rent, are classics of Israeli literature. And actress Leah Remini starred as Carrie Heffernan on The King of Queens and won two Emmy Awards for her documentary series.
Leah through the decades
Leah is still climbing. US Social Security data has it entering the top 200 at 139th in the 1970s, rising to 81st in the 1980s and 68th in the 2000s, and reaching its best rank yet, 35th, in the 2010s, when more than 56,000 American girls were named Leah. That makes it one of the few names in this collection that is more popular now than ever.
Did you know?
Leah has an English meaning too. Wikipedia notes that léah is an Old English word meaning “meadow”, a common part of Anglo-Saxon place names that can mean a forest, clearing or field. So an English Leah can take her name as “meadow” if she prefers it to “weary”.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Leah is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Leah on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
