What is the meaning of the name Leanna ?

The baby name Leanna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced lee-AN-uh (IPA: /liˈænə/).

Leanna is English in Origin.

Leanna is a modern English feminine given name, most often seen as a blend of Lee (from Old English lēah “meadow, clearing”) and Anna (from Hebrew Hannah “grace, favor”). It also overlaps with Leanne and Liana: Leanna can function as an elaboration of Anne/Anna or as a relative of Liana, a short form of names like Eliana and Juliana and, by folk association, the French liane “climbing vine.” These roots give Leanna layered senses such as “graceful meadow” or “grace/favor,” with a nature-tinged undertone.

The name appears in English records from the late 19th century and rose in use in North America during the mid–late 20th century, peaking around the 1980s. Variants and cognates include Leanne, Leann, Lee Ann/Lee-Ann, Lianne, Lianna, Liana, Leana, and French Léana. Nicknames range from Lea/Leah and Lia to Annie and Anna. Usage today is steady but modest, appreciated for its lyrical, three-syllable flow.
