I have mentioned before I write under a pseudonym here on Word Press. I do that to protect my family and myself from some of the hard truths I occasionally write about. I came up with the name about the time I was in seventh grade as that was when I started writing poetry and I did have a bit of a hope to publish. And if Samuel Clemens could write under a nom de plume, couldn’t I? There is a method to how I came up with the name, but I can’t explain it for obvious reasons.
I did a little searching though and did discover a few things in a google search of the name. It seems to come from the name Leah and is of Hebrew origins meaning “meadow.” And I learned that in 2021 only I in about 33,000 times was Leigha used as a girl’s name. Interesting little facts, but since it is not a common name, I didn’t find much else.
