Leaha is a form of the girl’s name Leah, a title rich in Hebrew and Hawaiian origins. A rare but charming respelling of a classic, Leaha bears the Hebrew meanings “delicate” and “weary.” Leah is the name of Jacob’s first wife in the Book of Genesis, whose eyes are described as weary. Leaha is also related to Lea, the beautiful Hawaiian goddess of canoe makers. While Leaha may look and sound like the ever-popular Leah and its alternatives, the -a suffix gives it a distinctive touch.
