Lealia is in Origin.

Lealia is a rare feminine given name that most likely represents a modern spelling of Laelia or Lelia, themselves derived from the ancient Roman family name Laelius. Its precise meaning is unknown; the nomen may be of Etruscan origin, so translations are speculative. In English-speaking contexts, Lealia is sometimes felt as a melodic blend of Leah and Lia, lending it the associated Hebrew sense “weary” by folk etymology, though this is not the historical source.

Records show sporadic use in the United States from the late 19th century - often alongside Lelia - before fading into obscurity and reappearing in contemporary baby-name lists for its lilting vowels. Variants and cognates include Laelia, Lelia, Leelia, Leala, and Leela; related forms in Italian and Spanish are Lelia and Laelia. Short forms Lea, Lia, and Lili are natural nicknames. The orchid genus Laelia offers a refined botanical connection for those who enjoy floral symbolism.
