Meadow land or fallow land
Derived from the Old English words 'leah' (meadow) and 'land', it originally served as a topographic surname for someone who lived near a fallow field. It is a variant of the more common Leland, often chosen for its double-e spelling which emphasizes its connection to the word lee.
