Meaning & origin
Leasha is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1960. Its highest recorded usage came in 1962, after which it settled into a stable but low trajectory. The name never entered the top 1000, and its one-in-N rate is too low to calculate. Likely a creative combination of the prefix Lee- and the popular -sha ending (found in Alicia, Tisha), Leasha has no single agreed-upon meaning. It was most common during the 1960s and has seen no revival. While it has not been recorded in any top states, it represents a distinct strand of mid-20th-century American name invention.
Leasha is a modern name likely formed from the fashionable suffix -sha, seen in names like Alicia and Tisha, combined with the popular element Lee. It emerged in the United States in the 1960s, first recorded in 1960, and saw a peak in use in 1962. It has never entered the top 1000 ranks, remaining a rare and relatively stable choice.
