Leighlanee is English in Origin.

Leighlanee is a modern, inventive blend most plausibly combining Leigh with the element -lani/-laney. Leigh stems from Old English leah, “meadow, clearing.” The second part invites two readings: Hawaiian Lani, “heaven, sky,” familiar from Leilani, or Laney, a diminutive of Elaine (from Greek Helene, “torch, light”). Depending on the route, Leighlanee can suggest meanings like “heavenly meadow” or “bright meadow.”

Used mainly in the United States from the late 20th century onward, it remains very rare and reflects contemporary tastes for elaborated, melodic names. Spellings and close variants include Leighlanie, Leighlani, Leelani/Leilani (inspirationally related), Laney, and Laynee; hyphenated forms such as Leigh-Lanee also appear. Pronunciations vary, commonly LEE-lay-nee or LEE-lah-nee. The name skews feminine, though Leigh itself is unisex. Parents drawn to both nature and celestial imagery may appreciate its layered, blended heritage.
