Dark meadow or pale meadow
A modern American coinage, Blaklee combines the elements 'black' (meaning dark) or 'blaec' (meaning pale) with 'leah' (meaning meadow or clearing). It is a creative phonetic spelling of the surname-turned-given-name Blakeley. The name reflects a contemporary trend of adding the 'lee' suffix to established surnames to create a feminine feel.
