Lesly-Marie is in Origin.

Lesly-Marie blends a modern spelling of a Scottish surname-turned given name with the classic French form of Mary. Lesly is a streamlined variant of Leslie/Lesley, a unisex given name taken from a Scottish place in Aberdeenshire; its etymology is debated but often interpreted as "holly garden" or "garden by the holly." Marie travels through Latin Maria from Hebrew Miryam, a name with multiple proposed meanings - "beloved," "wished-for child," or "sea of bitterness" - and centuries of devotional use in Christian Europe.

Hyphenated double names are common in Francophone naming (e.g., Anne-Marie), and Lesly-Marie fits that pattern while reflecting broader Anglo usage of Leslie variants since the 17th century and their surge for girls in the 20th. Variants include Lesley-Marie, Leslie-Marie, Lesli-Marie, Lesly Marie (unhyphenated), Leslymarie (fused), and Marie-Lesly (reversed). The composite suggests a nature-tinged, timeless meaning: "holly garden" joined with "beloved/wished-for child."
