Opeleah is in Origin.

Opeleah is a modern, invented feminine given name in English, likely formed as a blend of Ophelia and Leah, or as a jewel-toned twist echoing Opal + Leah. The Ophelia element goes back to Greek ophelos “help, benefit,” while Leah is Hebrew, commonly read as “weary.” Drawing on these roots, Opeleah can be interpreted as “helpful Leah,” “beneficial one,” or, via the opal association from Sanskrit upala “gem,” as “precious helper.” Typical pronunciation is oh-peh-LEE-uh.

Usage is extremely rare and recent, reflecting 21st-century creative coinage and the revival of liquid, vowel-rich names. It appears sporadically in Anglophone birth announcements and has no known historical bearers or saintly associations. Variants and near-equivalents include Opelea, Opelia, and Opeleia; established cousins are Ophelia (English), Ofelia (Spanish/Italian), and Ophélie (French). Related choices include Opal and Leah.
