Leahan
le(a)-han
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Irish
Meaning:Son of Leman; Descendant of Leanachán
If you love the last-name-turned-first-name trend, don't sleep on the gender-neutral moniker Leahan. This super rare title has two origins to explore and an undeniably warm chime. As an English last name, Leahan has Anglo-Saxon roots and means "son of Leman," while in Irish, Leahan is an Anglicization of the last name Ó Leanacháin, meaning "descendant of Leanachán." Whether looking to revive an old family name, honor an ancestor, or for something you likely won't hear anywhere else, Leahan offers a melodic choice.
