User Comments about the name Lesia
Comment left Aug 11, 2008: "My name is Lesia, pronounced Lessa short e short a. I was born to uneducated parents from Arkansas and that is my only excuse for having this name. I am also 44, as many of the other Lesia's are. The worst thing I was ever called was Lesion, like a sore. How the professor got that I will never know. My favorite is Le-sigh-a, hey it sounds like the Mesiah, good company!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 13, 2008: "Hi, my name is Lesia. I live in South Carolina, and know one will say my name right. They always ask me how do I say my name. When I tell them I always get "I thought Lesia was Lisa" not the way you spell it. I can always tell when someone is calling that does not know me,by the way they say Lesia" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 28, 2008: "My name is Lesia (pronounced Lesha). I love my name. I am one of two persons in the British Virgin Island with this name. I often wondered what it meant and one day while praying I took a moment to read my bible and for the first time I saw my name in the middle of the word Ecclesiastes, which means chosen to speak or teach. At that time I had been teaching for at least four years already. Lesia is a Unique name and I am proud to be called by that name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 26, 2008: "My name is Lesia and I am a third generation Ukrainian born in the USA. I don't exactly know why my parents named me Lesia but it it sooo hard for Americans to pronounce my name. I get Le-SHa, Lee-sia, Lei-sia....it's TERRIBLE!! The one thing people need to get right is the SHORT E. I've seen it spelled Lesia, Lesya, Lecia." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 06, 2008: "My name is Lesia and has been pronounced many different ways, Leslie, Leesia, Lecia, but it is pronounced as Lisa. I enjoy having a unique name and have met a couple of people with the same spelling. My name was originally spelled Lisa, but the nurse in the hospital thought it was prounced Liza and my mother changed the spelling. Most people want to spell it as Leisa." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Oct 21, 2007: "I am very proud to be named Lesia and I am from Ukrainian/Rusiian background. My understanding is that the name comes from a Ukrainian poet. I get very frustrated that people don't know how to pronouce it and spell it incorrectly. I have had offical documents egGovernment agencies who spell it incorrectly. Until I was about 21 I found it easier to get people to call me Lesa, as in 'lesser the better'. If people show interest in the pronunciation I ask them to think of the 'i' as a 'j' or 'y' as in Sonja. Polish friends pronounce it as Lesh-a and Lesa' I have found this sight interesting and informative" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 28, 2007: "this is so weird, i thought i was the only one with the name Lesia. My mother intended to name me Lisa but spelling it Lesia. SO when i was 9 i went to school and i started to pronounce it LEESIHA.my family knows me as lisa but to everyone else I am lesia.my english professor right now says that if my name is lesia it should me spelled leesia. i don't pay attention to him though because i know that names could be spelled whatever way i want it to spell."

Comment left Aug 13, 2007: "I love my name, Lesia. Born in England of Ukrainian parents, my name is always a topic of conversation when I meet someone new. Some people pronounce it correctly immediately, but others take some time and this can be quite humerous :-) However, because I am proud of my heritage and uniqueness of the name, Lesia, I will keep repeating my name slowly until it is pronounced correctly. Everyone who hears it for the first time, says it is a beautiful name. Having 4 children, I really believe the name will be passed down in my family. The name "Lesia" rules!!!"
