Leah is a feminine given name of
Hebrew origin. Its meaning is often deciphered as "delicate" or "weary". The name can be traced back to the Biblical matriarch
Leah, one of the two wives of
Jacob.[1] This name may derive from
Hebrew: לֵאָה,
romanized: lē’ah, presumably cognate with
Akkadian𒀖littu, meaning 'wild cow', from
Proto-Semitic *layʾ-at- ~ laʾay-at- 'cow'.[citation needed]
