My mother took a Greek mythology class in ’69 & she saw it as a nymph of the forest. The nymph played tricks on suitors. But I also heard it comes from E. Africa. Is there a connection? Or any other place that the name comes from?

Oh and also on my fathers mothers side their last name is Baran and my mothers mothers side is Leany.
Juliet said on August 27, 2011
Baran
Last name origins & meanings:
Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian (Bárány): nickname from baran ‘ram’, borne by either a forceful, lusty man or else by a shepherd.
Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): ornamental name from the same word, baran ‘ram’.
I couldn’t find anything on Leany but it could be English maybe.
