Meaning & origin
Leaann is a modern American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1948. Its most popular year was 1962, reflecting the mid-century taste for blended names combining family favorites like Lee and Ann. Although it has never broken into the top 1000, the name has maintained a steady but low level of usage over the decades. The name is always given to girls. As a compound of two classic names, Leaann carries the familiar sounds of its parts while remaining distinctive.
Leaann is a modern American coinage, probably formed by combining the names Lee (from Old English leah 'woodland, clearing') and Ann (from Hebrew Hannah 'grace'). It emerged in the mid-20th century, with first recorded use in 1948, and saw modest popularity during the 1960s.
