Lyleigh is a contemporary English given name, usually pronounced LIE-lee.

Some also hear influence from Lyle, a Scottish and Norman surname derived from Old French l'isle, "island." As a modern blend, Lyleigh carries no single traditional meaning, but it is often interpreted along the lines of "meadow" or "island dweller in the meadow."

The name has emerged in English-speaking countries in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, fitting the fashion for creative -leigh spellings (compare Ryleigh, Kayleigh, Hadleigh). Usage remains uncommon and largely feminine, though its components are historically unisex. Variants and close spellings include Lylee, Lylie, Lyley, Lylei, and Lyli; related names are Lyla/Lila, Leigh/Lee, and the masculine Lyle.
