Lee Jia is a cross‑cultural double name. Lee can be the English given name from Old English leah “wood/clearing,” or the East Asian romanization of the surname 李 (Chinese Li; Korean Lee/Yi).

Together, Lee Jia may function as a modern Anglophone compound given name or, in Chinese/Korean order, as the surname Lee followed by the given name Jia/Ji‑a.

Lee entered English‑language given‑name use in the 19th century and is now widely unisex; 李 is among the most common East Asian surnames. Jia has long-standing use in Chinese, with characters such as 佳 “excellent/beautiful,” 嘉 “auspicious/praise,” and 家 “home/family”; Ji‑a in Korea often uses hanja like 智雅 “wise, graceful.” Variants and spellings include Lee‑Jia, Leigh Jia, Li Jia, and the reversed form Jia Lee; Chinese forms include 李佳, 李嘉, and 李家.
