Lee-Anne is an English compound name joining Lee and Anne. Lee derives from Old English lēah, “clearing, meadow”; Anne comes from Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor,” via Latin Anna and French Anne. Together they suggest “grace in the meadow.”

Hyphenation emphasizes the two-part structure and is especially seen in British and South African usage.
