Lief

Lief is a masculine name that is a great choice for the newest little love in your life. Lief has two possible origins, the first being from the Old Norse root leifr, which means "heir," lending the name a lovely ancestral feel. Lief may also derive from the Old English word leof, adding the warm endearment of "beloved" to its repertoire. Similar to the name Leif, Lief is linked to the Norse explorer Leif Eriksson, who is credited with being the first European to reach North America. With its strong familial vibe, loving embrace, and adventurous nature, Lief is a sweet choice for the newest addition to your crew.
