            "night; holy"
          • Description:

            Beguiling and lovely, Laila is one of the lilting variations of Leila and Layla. It's the name of the former-boxer daughter of Muhammad Ali and of actor Shawn Wayans. In Finland, the Sami people use this in place of the Scandinavian name Helga.

          • Origin:

            English
          • Meaning:

            "long hill"
          • Description:

            Landon is a popular surname name; it's been dropping slightly in recent years but has surpassed its once more popular rhyming cousin Brandon. For some it may bring back nostalgic memories of Little House on the Prairie 's understanding Pa, played by Michael Landon.
        • Lavon
          • Layla
            • Origin:

              Variation of Leila, Arabic
            • Meaning:

              "night"
            • Description:

              A lovely musical name (remember the old Eric Clapton-Derek & the Dominos song?), Layla's seen a significant surge in popularity, partly partly all names with a double L are stylish, and partly because all the forms of the name push it into the Top 15 for girls.
          • Layne
            • Origin:

              Variation of Lane, English
            • Meaning:

              "a small roadway or path"
            • Description:

              Currently gender-neutral in the US, although boys have the edge, as they do with Lane. The Y spelling makes it a bit more feminine.
          • Layton
            • Origin:

              Old English
            • Meaning:

              "settlement with a leek garden"
            • Description:

              This first name was once a surname derived from Old English. Used quietly a century ago, the current fashion for two-syllable boy names ending in n makes this one a new hit.
          • Leann
            • Leo
              • Origin:

                Latin
              • Meaning:

                "lion"
              • Description:

                Leo is a strong-yet-friendly name that was common among the Romans, used for thirteen popes, and is now at its highest point ever in the US thanks in part to Leonardo "Leo" DiCaprio.
            • Levi
              • Origin:

                Hebrew
              • Meaning:

                "joined, attached"
              • Description:

                Levi, lighter and more energetic than most biblical names, with its up vowel ending, combines Old Testament gravitas with the casual flair associated with Levi Strauss jeans.
            • Liam
              • Origin:

                Irish short form of William
              • Meaning:

                "resolute protection"
              • Description:

                Liam is the top boys' name in the US, holding the Number 1 spot for the past seven years and also ranking as one of the most popular boys' names around the western world.
            • Lincoln
              • Origin:

                English
              • Meaning:

                "town by the pool"
              • Description:

                Lincoln cracked the Top 50 for boys' names for the first time in 2016, more than 150 years after the death of its most famous bearer. This is especially remarkable because, as crazy as it seems now, Lincoln was deeply out of fashion as recently as the late 90s, consistently hovering near the bottom of the Top 1000.
            • Logan
              • Origin:

                Scottish
              • Meaning:

                "small hollow"
              • Description:

                According to exclusive Nameberry data, Logan is officially the Number 1 gender-neutral name in the US, but that statistic is somewhat misleading given that nearly 90 percent of the baby Logans born in 2023 were boys.
            • Louise
              • Origin:

                French and English, feminine variation of Louis
              • Meaning:

                "renowned warrior"
              • Description:

                Louise has for several decades now been seen as competent, studious, and efficient—desirable if not dramatic qualities. But now along with a raft of other L names, as well as cousin Eloise, Louise is up for reappreciation—sleek and chic, stylish in Paris, and starting to become so in the US as well. Louisa is perhaps more in tune with the times, but Louise has more edge. Louise has been on the rise lately, and reentered the US Top 1000 for the first time in a quarter century in 2016.
            • Lucille
              • Origin:

                French variation of Latin Lucilla
              • Meaning:

                "light"
              • Description:

                Lucille is a name that had long been overpowered by its link to Lucille Ball, with an image of tangerine-colored hair, big, round eyes, and a tendency to stage daffy and desperate stunts. But with the newfound craze for double-L names like Lily and Lila, Lulu and Luna, and as the choice of Lucille by hipster parents Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson, Lucille is breaking free from its old clownish image, moving rapidly up the charts over the past decade after a long nap.
            • Lukas
              • Origin:

                German variation of Lucas
              • Meaning:

                "man from Lucanus"
              • Description:

                Highly popular in Germany, Norway, Lithuania, and Austria, Lukas is a spelling variation of the also extremely popular Lucas. The "K" spelling gives it extra kick and a more international, globe-trotter feel.
