What does the name Leeanna mean?
Leeanna is a spelling of Leanna, pronounced the same way, so it shares Leanna's meaning and origin.
Leanna has no single documented origin; Wiktionary lists it without an etymology. It is usually treated as a variant of Leanne, a 20th-century blend of Lee and Anne, or of Liana, a short form of names like Juliana, and in some families as an elaboration of Lena. The parts have their own meanings (Anne from Hebrew Ḥannah 'grace'), but Leanna itself has no inherited meaning. It has been used in the US since 1880.
How sure is this? Uncertain. Several possible sources; none documented for the name itself.
Related names: Leanne, Liana, Lianna, Leann.
