Leslie-Anne is in Origin.

A double-barreled given name combining Scottish Leslie with classic Anne. Leslie began as a Scottish place-derived surname from the lands of Leslie in Aberdeenshire, with an often-cited Gaelic etymology meaning "holly garden" (from leas "enclosure, garden" + cuileann "holly"), though the precise roots are debated. Anne comes via French and Latin from Hebrew Hannah, "grace" or "favor." Together, Leslie-Anne evokes "grace in the holly garden" or a "gracious holly grove."

Adopted as a given name in the 19th-20th centuries as surnames moved into first-name use. Leslie was masculine in Scotland, later trending feminine in North America; the hyphenated form aligns with French naming patterns (e.g., Anne-Marie) and sees use in the UK, Ireland, Canada, and the U.S. Variants include Lesley-Anne, Leslie Ann, Lesley Ann, Lesly-Anne, and Lesleyanne; diminutives Lessie, Les, Annie, and L.A. Spelling Lesley often marks British usage.
