Leis is English, Hawaiian in Origin.
Leis is a rare, multicultural given name used for all genders. In English-speaking contexts it often draws on Hawaiian imagery: a lei is a garland symbolizing welcome, affection, and celebration, and the Anglicized plural “leis” has inspired modern nature-name usage. As a surname-based given name in German-speaking areas, Leis also reflects Middle High German leis(e) “quiet, gentle,” yielding a calm, soft-spirited meaning.
In German and Dutch naming, Leis sometimes aligns with Lies/Liese - pet forms of Elisabeth - linking it to the biblical meaning “God is my oath.” As a given name, Leis remains uncommon prior to the late 20th century, appearing in the U.S. and Europe through creative respellings and the surname-to-first-name trend. Related and variant forms include Lei, Lais/Laís, Leise, Leiss/Leiß, Lies, Liese, Lise, Leisa, Leisha, and Elis; nicknames may include Lee or Lei.
