Kingsleigh is English in Origin.

Kingsleigh is an English surname-derived given name, a contemporary respelling of Kingsley from Old English cyning 'king' + leah 'wood, clearing, meadow'. It denotes 'king’s meadow/clearing', with the -leigh ending reflecting a historical spelling of -ley/-lea found in many English place-names. The form signals rustic landscape roots while carrying an aristocratic overtone via the 'king' element.

Kingsley entered given-name use in the 19th century, helped by novelist and cleric Charles Kingsley; Kingsleigh arose much later as a modern, stylistic variant. It is rare but steadily visible in Anglophone countries, used for all genders, though the -leigh spelling often trends feminine in North America. Variants include Kingsley, Kingslea, Kingslee, Kingslie, and the related surname/place form Kinsley. Short forms Leigh/Lee or King occur in everyday use. Overall, Kingsleigh blends a venerable Old English etymology with a fashionable spelling, offering a polished yet nature-anchored choice.
