As a girl's name, Leitha currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1977. The name reached its historical peak in 1916, when 22 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Leitha performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 131 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Leitha shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Leitha in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 731 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
