Laurie-Lee is in Origin.
Laurie-Lee fuses the Latin-rooted Laurie with the Old English Lee, yielding the image-rich meaning laurel meadow or victorious clearing. Laurie is a familiar form of Laura (from laurus, the laurel tree emblematic of triumph) and also of Laurence, which gives the compound unisex potential. Lee stems from leah, meaning meadow or woodland clearing, long used as a given name and surname in English.
Hyphenated forename compounds like Laurie-Lee gained momentum in Britain after the Second World War and saw parallel popularity in North America mid-century, with recognition further boosted by the English poet and memoirist Laurie Lee. In practice it skews feminine today, though usage remains flexible.
