History & Origin
Debralee is a compound name marrying Debra to Lee. Debra is the trimmed form of Deborah, Hebrew for bee and the name of a biblical judge; Lee is an Old English word for meadow. The blend rode the enormous popularity of Debra while staying a small, distinctive choice.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-1970s high and gone by the late 1980s. A Debralee from that time is in her forties now; Deborah names feel dated at present, and this Lee compound reads the same way.
