Lea-Anne is in Origin.

Lea-Anne pairs Lea with Anne, blending Hebrew and English/French strands. Lea traces to Leah (Hebrew לֵאָה), often interpreted as “weary” or “delicate,” and in English can also echo lea, the Old English lēah meaning “meadow/clearing.” Anne descends from Hannah via Latin Anna and French Anne, meaning “grace” or “favor.” Together, the compound can suggest “grace in the meadow” (English lea + Anne) or “grace for Leah.” The hyphen signals a single double given name rather than a first and middle name.

Hyphenated feminine names are common in French-speaking regions, making Léa‑Anne a natural francophone variant; Anglophone forms spread from the mid-20th century. Variants include Léa‑Anne, Leah‑Anne, Lee‑Anne, Leigh‑Anne, Leanne, Lee Ann, and LeAnn; nicknames include Lea, Annie, and Lee. Usage appears in the UK, Canada (including Quebec), South Africa, and Australia, with Leigh‑Anne particularly familiar in Britain. Typical pronunciation: LEE‑uh‑ann.
