About Leith
Leith comes from the name of the historic Scottish district and port of Leith, now part of Edinburgh. The place name is ultimately connected with the Gaelic word lìte, traditionally associated with being wet or damp, reflecting the area's relationship with water. Leith has an established gender-neutral classification and its place-name origin gives it a strong geographical identity. Short, uncommon and distinctly Scottish, it offers a restrained choice with natural and historical associations.
