Leysha is English in Origin.
Leysha (pronounced LAY-sha) is a modern English given name, most often a creative spelling of Leisha/Aleisha, variants of Alicia. Via Alicia it goes back to Old High German Adalheidis (Adelaide), yielding the meaning “noble, of noble kind.” The spelling surfaced in the late twentieth century during the vogue for -isha endings and phonetic variants, and has seen modest, sporadic use in English-speaking countries.
In multicultural settings it can also be read as a respelling of Aisha (Arabic ‘Ā’ishah), giving the meaning “alive; living.” Though sometimes confused with Russian Lyosha, a male nickname for Alexey, Leysha is distinct and primarily feminine. Variants and related forms include Leisha, Aleisha, Alesha, Laysha, Laisha, Leesha, Lisha; longer roots Alicia and Alisha; and the cognate Aisha.
