Langleigh is English in Origin.

Langleigh is a modern respelling of the English place-name and surname Langley, from Old English lang “long” + lēah “woodland clearing, meadow.” The -leigh ending reflects the historical spelling of lēah and has become a fashionable suffix in contemporary given names. The meaning is “long meadow” or “long clearing,” evoking open fields at the edge of a wood. Numerous English villages named Langley fed the medieval surname, which later migrated into the Anglophone world.

Used as a given name since at least the 19th century (typically as Langley for boys), it now reads unisex, with Langleigh favored for girls because of the -leigh stylistic cue. Variants include Langley, Langlie, Langly, and Langlee; related forms are Leigh and Lee. Short forms Lang or Leigh are common. Langleigh suits parents drawn to surname-style choices with pastoral, old-English roots and a polished modern twist.
