Leahs

Leahs is a plural form that can refer to more than one person named Leah, or, less commonly, to a surname. In English, when referring to several individuals who share the given name Leah, writers may write “the Leahs” or simply “Leahs” as the plural. The usage tends to appear in lists, genealogical contexts, or narrative descriptions rather than as a standard word with a fixed meaning.

Origins and given-name usage: Leah is a Hebrew given name that appears in biblical and later literature. In English and many other languages, Leah has been widely adopted and adapted, and the plural form Leas or Leahs can arise when listing multiple people named Leah.

The plural Leahs does not have an independent definition beyond its function as the plural of Leah.

Surname usage: Leas or Leahs as a surname is uncommon. When encountered as a family name, it most likely represents an adaptation or anglicization of a different origin, or a patronymic lineage tied to an ancestor named Leah. There is no widely cited, uniform etymology for the surname Leahs beyond this general pattern of surname formation.

Notable people: There are no widely documented notable figures whose surname is Leahs in major reference works. The term is mainly encountered as the plural form of the given name Leah or as a rare, unsupported surname.
