Meaning & History
The origin of this Frisian name is a little uncertain: it is thought that it is a short form of Germanic names that contained the element #laifa# (see BERNLEF) or #liub# (see LIUBIGILD). Because of the close resemblance with the Dutch word for 'lion' ("leeuw"), it might also be related to that - but that is unlikely.
