Neither. It's a street in Nicosia, the capital and largest city of Cyprus. Known as Ledra or Ledrae in ancient times, the city was the seat of the Lusignan kings of Cyprus since 1192, became a Venetian possession in 1489, and fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1571. Ledra is now the actual name of the most popular commercial street.

Nice- girls name for sure- and two ways to pronounce it, depending on the last name-- soft e like le dra or hard e like eeee which would be leeeedra-- l prefer soft ledra alyce phillips----just for an example-- the name just rolls off your tongue---that's the object here- no tongue twisters---it's hard enough to be a kid in this day you don't want to riddle them with a name they can be ridiculed for.
good luck to you and your baby.............oh, you can also make the name lydra- and it would be pronounce lee e dra- hard e than soft, also very pretty.

I'm almost certain girl. And if it isn't a girl's name, it should be. It's somewhat feminine.
Led-dra is what I think. Very pretty.
Good luck!

I'd say it Led-rah.
It does kind of sound like the name of a prescription drug though. If you'd said to me "I had Ledra in hospital" I wouldn't think you were referring to the birth of your child...
