The name derives from a placename in Aberdeenshire, perhaps an anglicisation of an originally Gaelic leas celyn, meaning " holly garden. " In the United Kingdom, the name is spelled Leslie when given to boys, while for girls it is usually rendered as Lesley.. The surname Leslie was first found in Aberdeenshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain, a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland, where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated on the lands of Leslie. " This place is said to have derived its name from a family who held the lands so early as the eleventh century. "
