Leibish is a Hebrew name meaning 'love', derived from the German word "Liebes". It has been widely used among Ashkenazi Jews for centuries, often given to boys born into loving families or expected to grow kind-hearted, and was also used as an endearment by some Jewish communities for their sons. Notable figures such as Rabbi Leibish Tzvi ben Avraham and Leibish Lapin have borne this name throughout history. Today, it remains popular among worldwide Jewish communities, often chosen to express love and affection or honor loved ones.
