Lawleigh is in Origin.

Lawleigh is a modern, stylistic respelling of the English surname Lawley, itself taken from several Shropshire place-names. The surname stems from Old English hlāw (“burial mound, hill”) + lēah (“clearing, meadow, woodland”), yielding the sense “clearing by the mound” or “meadow on the hill.” The -leigh ending mirrors a long-standing English toponymic element and, in contemporary naming, lends a softer, boutique feel while preserving the traditional law-lee sound.

Though uncommon as a given name, Lawleigh fits the broader Anglo surname-to-first-name trend that grew in the late 20th century, and it reads as unisex. Documented earlier as a family name - borne by the Lawley line in Britain - it now appears in creative spellings. Variants and near-forms include Lawley, Lawlie, Lawlee, and Laleigh; diminutives may be Law, Lolly, or Leigh. Related meadow names include Leigh, Hadley, and Raleigh.
