Meaning, origin, history
The name Lesa is of Hawaiian origin and means "happy". It is believed to have been created by Princess Victoria Ka'iulani, who was born in 1875 and spent her early years in Hawaii before moving to England for her education. She is said to have invented the name Lesa as a shortened form of her own name, which would have been pronounced something like "Leh-sah" in Hawaiian. The name Lesa became popular among Hawaiian families after Princess Ka'iulani's time and continues to be used today.
