Leslee is Scottish in Origin.

Leslee is a modern respelling of Leslie/Lesley, a Scottish surname-turned-given name. The surname comes from the Aberdeenshire place name Leslie, commonly interpreted from Scottish Gaelic elements leas + cuileann as “holly garden” or “holly enclosure.” Used for both sexes in Scotland and northern England, the name migrated into general given-name use in the 19th century and entered American naming in the early 20th.

Leslee emerged in the United States as a feminine-leaning spelling, peaking in mid‑century records and now seldom used, giving it a gently vintage feel. Core variants include Leslie (unisex, especially feminine in the U.S.), Lesley (more common in the U.K.), Lesly, Lesli, Lesleigh, and Lezlie; nicknames include Les and Lessie. Pronounced LES-lee, the name retains the botanical, place-name heritage of the original while offering a softer, tailored twist that echoes other respellings popular in the 1950s–70s.
