All around the world, ليب (Leib 
, Lieb , Leeb 
) is quite a rare principally masculine, but very seldom female given name. The first name ليب is characteristic of Israel, where it is quite a common primarily masculine, but scarcely female name, South Africa, where it is a rare masculine name, and Austria. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Israel, South Africa, and the United States. More frequently, ليب is the last name as well as the forename.
ليب is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Lieb , the theatrical character in the play "The Iceman Cometh".
