From http://www!.behindthename!.com/name/leslie Behind the Name:
"From a Scottish surname which was derived from a Scottish place name, probably derived from Gaelic leas celyn meaning "garden of holly"!. It has been used as a given name since the 19th century!. In America it was more common as a feminine name after the 1940s!."

So, "garden of holly" or, as another site claims: "meadowlands!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
