Lesleigh Origin and Meaning

The name Lesleigh is a girl's name.

Lesleigh is a feminine name representing a creative spelling variation of Leslie or Lesley. The name has Scottish origins, derived from a place name combining the Gaelic elements 'les' meaning 'garden' or 'enclosure' and 'leigh' meaning 'meadow.' Originally a surname and then a masculine given name, Leslie transitioned to common use as a feminine name in the 20th century. This particular spelling with '-leigh' instead of '-ley' or '-lie' gives the name a more elaborate, feminine appearance while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. The '-leigh' ending has become increasingly popular in contemporary naming as parents seek distinctive spellings for traditional names. While not among the most common variations, Lesleigh offers a touch of uniqueness to the familiar name, combining traditional roots with a more ornate, modern spelling pattern.
