Leith

Leith is a lovely name used both for boys and girls and is gender-neutral. The name is used worldwide, but its origins come from the western region of Europe. The name is of Scottish origin. A Gaelic word originally inspired this gender-neutral name. Gaelic is a part of the Goidelic group of Celtic languages. It relates specifically to the dialect that was spoken in the Scottish highland regions. It came over from Ireland in the fifth century. Leith came from the Gaelic word llaith, which translates to 'wet'. It referenced the main river that would flow into the district at the time. One of the other meanings of the name Leith comes from the Arabic word laith, which translates to 'lion'. This gives a lovely twist to the meaning of the word Leith. Hence, the meaning of Leith is 'lion'. The name also had significance in Ancient Greece. The people told the tale of the River Lethe, the river of forgetfulness. The dead would drink from Lethe, forget their past lives, and be born into the world again. If they were good in three of their lifetimes, they would be eligible to be a part of the Underworld called the Isles of Blest. The name Leith truly is incredible.
