Around the globe, Leith (ليث , Leith , リース ) is a widespread principally masculine, but very infrequently girly first name. The given name Leith is characteristic of Iraq, where it is a common predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female name, Syria, and Libya, where it is quite a common dominantly male, but infrequently female name (explore the name in all countries). Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Western Asia, particularly Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. Very seldom, Leith is the last name as well as the forename.
Leith is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Rhys Williams , the fictional character of Torchwood; Rhys Michael Haldane and Rhys Lawson , the character from Australian soap opera "Neighbours".
