Leith
le(i)-th
US Popularity:12452
Origin:Gaelic
Meaning:wet; lion
Leith is a geographical gender-neutral name inspired by North Edinburgh's uber-cool port area. The height of effortless hip vibes, Leith comes from the Gaelic llaith, meaning "wet"—a reference to the main river that flows into the district. llaith may not encompass Leith's edgy style, but its close proximity to the Arabic laith, "lion," more than makes up for it.
