What is the meaning of the name Lesil ?

The baby name Lesil is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈlɛsɪl/ — LES-il (also heard as LES-əl).

Lesil is Scottish in Origin.

Lesil is a rare modern given name in English-language use, likely a variant blending Leslie and Liesl/Liesel. Leslie began as a Scottish surname from a place in Aberdeenshire; its meaning is often interpreted from Gaelic elements as “holly garden” or “garden by the holly.” Liesl (or Liesel) is the German diminutive of Elisabeth, from Hebrew Elisheva, “God is my oath.” Accordingly, Lesil can be understood either as a creative Leslie spelling or as a streamlined form of Liesl, carrying one of these meanings.

Documented usage of Lesil is sparse before the late 20th century and remains uncommon, mainly in North America and online records. The name functions as unisex by association with Leslie, though it skews feminine when tied to Liesl. Related variants include Leslie, Lesley, Lesly, Lesli; and Liesl, Liesel, Leisl. Possible nicknames are Les, Leli, and Lis.
