Kealeah is Hawaiian in Origin.

Kealeah is a modern, rare feminine name most common in the English‑speaking world. Its form suggests a creative blend of Kea and Leah, or a respelling of the Hawaiian place name Keālia. In Hawaiian, kea can mean “white,” while Keālia refers to a “salt bed” or salt encrustation along the shore; Leah is the biblical Hebrew name (Le’ah), usually interpreted as “weary,” with an older Near Eastern link to the “wild cow.” Together, Kealeah carries a contemporary mix of island imagery and scriptural heritage rather than a single fixed traditional meaning.

Usage is recent, with sporadic appearances in U.S. records from the late 20th century onward and no sustained ranking in national top‑lists. Variants and near‑forms include Kealia, Kealeia, Kealiyah, Keyleah, and Kaleah; related choices are Keala, Kalia, Kaylee, Keely, and Leah. Diminutives may be Kea or Leah.
