I might also add I agree with the variant of “señora” theory, and add that variations of this name are not uncommon as Mary, the mother of Jesus, is often referred to as “Nuestra Señora” (Our Lady). Naming a child a variation of this pays homage to her, and in fact “Leidy” (a variation of the English “lady”) is fairly. common in the Spanish speaking world, especially among Catholics.
