Leeth is Arabic, Scottish in Origin.
Leeth is a rare English given name likely derived from the Scottish surname and place-name Leith. The district by the Firth of Forth takes its name from the Water of Leith; many link the river-name to a Celtic root for “damp, moist” (cf. Welsh llaith), yielding senses of watercourse or riverside. As a surname, spellings such as Leith, Leath, and Leete appear, with Leeth a recorded variant.
As a given name, Leeth is very uncommon and modern in feel, emerging through transferred-surname use in Scotland and later the wider Anglosphere. It is used for all genders, though somewhat more for boys. Close variants include Leith (most established) and Leath; Lee works as a nickname. The name’s meaning centers on water and shores, evoking harbor life and cool, maritime imagery.
