📖 Acerca de Leigh
Leigh proviene del ingles antiguo leah, que significa claro en el bosque o pradera abierta, un termino topografico que dio origen a decenas de toponimos ingleses y, con el tiempo, a apellidos y nombres propios. Como nombre de pila surgio en el siglo XIX, inicialmente masculino antes de volverse unisex en el mundo anglosajón. En Australia estuvo brevemente entre los 100 nombres masculinos mas populares a principios de los anos ochenta. Su sencillez monosilabica le otorgo un atractivo duradero, e internacionalmente esta indisolublemente ligado a la actriz Vivien Leigh.
