Leighanna is a beautiful name that possibly derives from an Irish form of the Greek name Helen, meaning “shining light.” It may also be a combination of Lee, meaning “of the clearing,” and Anna, meaning “grace” or “favor.” In Latin, the word leana means lioness, which may be another possible origin. Whichever meaning you prefer, you can’t go wrong with this elegant name.
