Oleah is in Origin.

Oleah is a modern feminine given name most plausibly derived from Latin olea, “olive,” the word behind Olive and Olivia. Through this root it carries associations of peace, fruitfulness, and endurance linked to the olive tree across Mediterranean cultures. The -h ending may also invite a connection to the Hebrew name Leah, sometimes yielding a blended interpretation (“olive/peace” + “Leah”), though Leah’s debated meaning ranges from “weary” to an old Semitic term for “wild cow.” Most bearers use the olive/peace sense as the primary meaning.

Use of Oleah appears sporadically in English-speaking records from the late 20th century onward, without established historical figures or saints, marking it as a contemporary, stylistic choice. Variants and related forms include Olea, Oleea, Olia/Olya (also a Slavic diminutive of Olga), Olive, and Olivia; short forms include Oli and Lea. The name remains rare yet recognizably anchored to familiar olive-based names.
