Shakespeare asked the famous question through Juliet when he penned the phrase, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." I am going on record as stating - he was wrong. Let the following be a lesson to every parent seeking a name for their child... check the meaning BEFORE you fall in love with it.
Leah has two cultural origins, Hebrew and Assyrian. Neither bodes well for us.Hebrew - weary
Assyrian - ruler
Take your pick. Either way she is a strong, independent soul that will wear you out.
Love the name, thanks for the warning!
