Laurie Leigh combines two English-rooted names. Laurie is a diminutive of Laura or Laurence, from Latin laurus, the laurel symbol of honor and victory. Leigh, from Old English leah "meadow, clearing," began as a surname and is pronounced LEE. Together they suggest a "laurel in the meadow," with soft alliteration and a vintage feel.

Laurie saw longstanding male use in Britain and Scotland as short for Laurence before trending feminine in North America in the mid-20th century. Leigh moved from surname to unisex given name during Victorian revival and rose again from the 1960s with -leigh spellings. Variants and pairings include Laurie-Leigh, Laura Leigh/Lauralee, Lori Leigh, and Lorrie Leigh; Scottish Lawrie Leigh skews masculine. Leigh itself varies as Lee or Lea.
