Léa is a feminine name of French, English, and Hebrew origin. Popular among Dutch speakers and the Swiss, it means "weary," "delicate," "clearing," and "meadow." Léa shows some love to Leah, the wife of Jacob in the Hebrew Bible. Faced with rejection, she dares to move forward, turns to God, and is rewarded for her loyalty. Following the Reformation, forms of Leah became popular among Christians living in Switzerland as people began to favor Hebrew names from the Old Testament over those recognized by the Catholic Church. Your darling Léa will look to their name as a powerful source of strength. They'll navigate bravely through tough times, emerging victoriously in the clearing!
