Meaning:*
This name derives from the Hebrew “lê'âh,” Ancient Greek “Leíā (Λείᾱ),” meaning “weary, tired.” Leah was the daughter of Laban, the first wife of Jacob, and mother of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah. Saint Lea is a 3rd-century saint in the Roman Catholic Church on Jerome’s authority, about whom little is definitively known. In a letter to Saint Marcella, the church’s father, Saint Jerome, she was a widow who retired to a Roman convent of consecrated virgins. She became the prioress.

Color meaning: Black

Black is the color of the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, creating an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world. In color psychology the meaning of the color black is protection from external emotional stress. It creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities and lack of self-confidence. In times of fear and uncertainty black contains the energy of the threatening unknown. In a positive state, black is seen as a restful emptiness into which anything may emerge and disappear once again. It is also mysterious, providing a sense of potential and possibility.
