Λητώ

• Λᾱ́των (Lā́tōn) — Aeolic
• Λᾱτώ (Lātṓ), Λητόᾱ (Lētóā) — Doric

In 20th-century sources Leto is traditionally derived from Lycian lada, "wife", as her earliest cult was centered in Lycia. Lycian lada may also be the origin of the Greek name Λήδα (Lḗda, “Leda”). Other scholars (Paul Kretschmer, Erich Bethe, Pierre Chantraine and R. S. P. Beekes) have suggested a Pre-Greek origin.
