No, Leah is a different name. I guess you mean Blima or Bluma.

The name can be either Blima or Bluma. Both mean a flower in Yiddish, but the difference in the pronunciation depends on which part of Europe they originate from.

I think you mean Bluma... It's Yiddish for "flower". Yiddish is an amalgamate of several languages, such as German, Polish and Hebrew.

I don't mean to insult your memory, but it is more likely that her name was Bluma (just like my grandma's!), which is a Yiddisher name means "flower".
Leah is a Hebrew name, means "weary".

I don't think this is the way that name is translated out of those languages - sorry!@
