Leslye Origin and Meaning

The name Leslye is a girl's name.

Leslye is a feminine name that represents a variation of Leslie or Lesley, which originated as a Scottish surname derived from a place name combining Gaelic elements meaning 'garden of holly' or 'gray fortress.' This particular spelling with a 'y' adds a distinctive touch to the traditional name. Leslie began as a masculine name but has evolved to become predominantly feminine in many regions, especially in the United States. The spelling variation Leslye emerged as parents sought ways to feminize or personalize the name further. While less common than the standard spellings, Leslye maintains the name's pleasant sound and cultural associations while offering a slightly more unique presentation on paper.
