Has anyone heard of the idea that the meaning of Leah is actually "languid?" Can anyone verify this? I thought it sounded like it could be true, seeing as how it is very similiar to "weary."

Thats not what I said at all
The name has been typically known to be defined as meaning "weary" in Hebrew and I was wondering if it could also mean "languid" or if the two terms were so similiar that they basically mean the same thing.
There was no need for a harsh non-answer. And yes, generally a name means one thing (there are exceptions when names come from multiple elements). Names are derived from entymology and therefore follow what words and elements they are based off of.
