Leith
le(i)-th
US Popularity:13362
Origin:Scottish
Meaning:Wet, damp, dripping
Leith is a geographical gender-neutral name inspired by North Edinburgh's uber-cool port area. The height of effortless hip vibes, Leith comes from the Gaelic lìte, meaning "wet," “damp,” or possibly a Celtic word for “dripping”—a reference to the main river that flows into the district. Its meaning may not encompass Leith's edgy style, but its use as a place name not only in Scotland but also in North Dakota adds a worldly flair.
