📜 Leann Through the Generations

Leann had its big moment in 1963, when 636 babies were given the name in a single year. That peak feels very mid-century, and the numbers tell that story clearly. Of the 24,329 total births on record, an impressive 22,201 are estimated to still be living, which means very little is lost to time, just yet. The average age sits at 50, and the age breakdown reflects that nicely: 51% of Leanns are aged 30-60, while only 16% are under 30. That under-30 group, just 3,771 people, shows how rarely parents are choosing this name today. The trend is firmly declining, so Leann feels like a name belonging to a specific era. It's not extinct, but it's not being refreshed either. With 8,032 people over 60 carrying it, Leann skews toward a generation raised in the postwar decades.
