Liah

The name Liah is of Hebrew origin and is a variant spelling of the name Leah. It is derived from the Hebrew word 'la'ah', which means 'weary' or 'tired'.

In the Bible, Leah was the first wife of Jacob and the mother of six of his sons. The name is thought to have been given to her because her eyes were 'weary' or 'dull' in appearance.

Despite its somewhat negative meaning, Liah is a melodic and beautiful name that has gained popularity in recent years, especially among parents who appreciate names with a biblical or Hebrew heritage.

The name Liah is typically pronounced as 'LEE-ah' or 'LY-ah', with the emphasis on the first syllable.
