What does Leiah mean?

The name Leiah is commonly a female name from the "Hebrew" origin.

Leiah is a respelling of Leah, the name of a matriarch in the biblical book of Genesis and a long established name in English use. The form adds an i to the vowel and closes with -iah, but the pronunciation matches Leah. A second possible model is Leia, a separate name that entered English use in the twentieth century and is spelled with the same four letters plus a final h; birth records do not show which of the two a given family had in mind.

Leah means "Fatigued, Weary, Delicate.".
