Langlea is in Origin.

Langlea is a modern given name derived from the English surname and place-name Langley, ultimately from Old English lang "long" + leah "clearing, meadow," yielding the meaning "long meadow/clearing." The -lea ending reflects the archaic word lea "meadow," so Langlea is typically pronounced LANG-lee. Numerous English villages named Langley gave rise to the surname in medieval records before it migrated into first-name use.

As a given name, Langlea fits the surnames-as-forenames trend seen in Britain and North America from the 19th century onward, and today it is used sparingly as a unisex choice. Spelling variants and close forms include Langley, Langleigh, Langlee, Langlie, and Langly; short forms Lang and Lee/Lea are common nicknames. While visually similar to Leah/Léa, Langlea’s roots are English rather than Hebrew or French. It suits families seeking a nature-inflected, understated alternative to Ashley, Hadley, or Finley.
