What is the meaning of the name Lesley-Grace ?

Lesley-Grace is French, Scottish in Origin.

Lesley-Grace blends the Scottish surname-name Lesley with the enduring virtue name Grace. Lesley traces to a toponym of Clan Leslie in Aberdeenshire, probably from Gaelic lios “enclosure, garden” + liath “grey,” yielding “grey enclosure;” some traditions render it as “holly garden.” Grace descends from Latin gratia via Old French and Middle English, meaning “favor, blessing, divine grace,” long used in England and revived by the Puritans.

As a given name, Lesley rose in the 19th century; the -ley spelling is chiefly feminine in Scotland and the UK, while Leslie remains broadly unisex in North America. Hyphenated double names gained ground in the late 20th–21st century across the English-speaking world, especially Britain and Ireland. Variants include Leslie-Grace, Leslee-Grace, Lesly-Grace, and the unhyphenated Lesley Grace. The blended meaning suggests “grace joined with Lesley,” or more poetically, “grace in the grey/holly garden.” Nicknames may be Les, Lesley, Grace, Gracie, or LG.
