Lee Origin and Meaning
The name Lee is a boy's name of English origin meaning "pasture, meadow".
A name that has a bit of a shouldn't-I-be-a-middle-name sound, though still in use as a first for both genders. Lee might be a good choice if you want something that sounds at once traditional yet modern, unisex but not newly-minted.
And while it absolutely works as a first name, Lee is still one of the top middle names for boys as well as one of the most common last names in the US.
