recorded as Lee, Lees, Lea, Leas, Lease and Leese is of Olde English
origin. It is usually locational and derives from any of the places
named with the pre 7th Century element "leah". This translates as "an
open place" in a forest or wood, but may describe a water meadow, the
word having different meanings in different parts of the country. Source: Lee
