Meaning & origin
Leasia is a modern American name of uncertain origin, possibly derived from Leticia or Alicia. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1955 and saw its peak usage in 2008, during the late 2000s when rhythmic, -ia ending names were fashionable. Since 2007, its usage has been declining. In 2025, the name ranked 13,208th, with approximately 1 in 267,878 newborn girls receiving the name. The name has never been common in any particular state, reflecting its very low overall frequency. Leasia remains a distinctive and uncommon choice, appealing to parents seeking a melodic and modern-sounding name.
Leasia first appeared in U.S. birth records in the mid-1950s. Its formation is unclear; it may be a creative respelling of Leticia (from Latin laetitia 'joy') or Alicia (a variant of Alice, from Old French Adelais). The name's usage has been infrequent but persistent, with a notable peak in the late 2000s.
