Meaning and origin of Layth
Layth is the more exact romanisation of the Arabic word for lion, one of several classical terms for the animal. Like its twin spelling Laith, it suggests courage and strength. The name's best-known bearer is al-Layth ibn Sa'd, an early Egyptian jurist so learned that Imam al-Shafi'i judged him to know more than Malik. That scholarly heritage gives the name a dignified feel.
