Meaning of Leith
Wet; Damp; Name of a river; Lion
Leith is a unisex name with multiple origins. It is considered a Gaelic first name derived from the surname Leith, which comes from the Celtic element ‘laith’ meaning ‘wet,’ ‘damp,’ or ‘moist.’ Leith is a name for multiple places, but most notably, it is the name of a river called the Water of Leith in Scotland. The location of the mouth of the river is also known as Leith and is a suburb in the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. Thus, Leith could originally have been a toponymic name referring to someone who lived along the Water of Leith or at the mouth of the river in Leith. Another origin of the name is that it is a spelling variant of the masculine Arabic name Laith , which means ‘lion’ and signifies someone brave and tough.
