What is the meaning of the name Aleytha ?

The baby name Aleytha is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /əˈleɪθə/ (uh-LAY-thuh).

Aleytha is Greek in Origin.

Aleytha is a modern, lyrical reshaping of Aletha/Alethea, ultimately from Greek aletheia, "truth" and "unconcealedness." The virtue name entered English in the 1600s through humanist and Puritan taste; it appears among aristocratic and nonconformist families alike, notably in the life of Alethea Howard, Countess of Arundel. In American records, the clipped form Aletha saw modest use into the early 20th century, while Aleytha itself remains rare and contemporary.

Variants and related forms include Alethea, Aletha, Alethia, and the diminutives Thea, Leta/Letha, and Allie. In Portuguese, Aleteia/Aletéia occasionally occurs, reflecting the same Greek root. Parents sometimes choose Aleytha to secure the gentle "LAY-tha" sound or to avoid the classical -thea ending, though it is occasionally conflated with Althea ("healer"), a separate Greek name. Overall meaning: "truth," with connotations of sincerity and transparency.
