Ledlie is Scottish in Origin.
Ledlie is a rare surname-turned-given name from the British Isles, linked to Scottish and Ulster-Scots families. Often explained as a toponym from Old English lād “way, course” and lēah “woodland clearing, meadow,” it carries the sense “clearing by the path.” Records show the close spelling Ledley and the Scottish surname Laidley used interchangeably in some families.
As a forename, Ledlie appears mainly in the 18th–19th centuries as a family honor name in Ulster and the United States, and it remains very uncommon today. The name is technically unisex but has skewed masculine. Noted echoes include Presbyterian minister and United Irishman Thomas Ledlie Birch (1754–1828); the spelling is also preserved by Civil War general James H. Ledlie (as a surname). Variants and related forms: Ledley, Laidley; rarer spellings Ledly occur in modern use.
