Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Weary

Leiah is a baby girl name of Scandinavian origin. Derived from the Hebrew name Leah, Leiah means "weary." The definition calls upon baby’s old soul for sure, but there’s also another connection for your vintage babe. Though it’s still celebrated today, and no doubt will continue to be, Star Wars first hit the scene in 1977! And those fans will undoubtedly make connections with Leiah as a variation of the galactic name of Leia. This fictional princess was known to be a fearless warrior, kicking butt with her blue lightsaber and her determination. Whether baby becomes a die-hard Star Wars fan or celebrates their age-old soul in other ways, the name Leiah can be their great compass.
