Leysa

Leysa is a feminine name for the little one who thrives when given the opportunity to make their own mark. From the way they approach the world to the way they spell their name, everything about little Leysa will be truly one-of-a-kind. If baby ever asks you where their name comes from, you’ll have two possible answers for them. Leysa may be a re-spelling of Lisa, a shortened form of Elizabeth. Lisa and Elizabeth mean “my God is an oath” in Hebrew, so if you plan to raise little Leysa to follow your faith, their name will give them plenty of encouragement. Leysa could also have links to the Ukrainian feminine name Lesya, which means “defender of men.” One simple letter swap is all that separates Leysa and Lesya, so if baby ever accidentally mixes up their name spelling, don’t be surprised!
