History & Origin

Leelynd respells Leland, an English surname from Old English lǣge land, 'fallow land' — ground allowed to rest between plantings. Leland entered American first-name use in the nineteenth century (the Stanford family made it famous), and the Leelynd spelling belongs to the recent taste for -y- endings. Routes are partly uncertain, which we note (said 'LEE-lind').

It is very rare in the U.S., far behind Leland. Rare, earthy, and modern-spelled.

Did you know? Leland comes from land left fallow — resting, not idle. Leelynd keeps that quiet country meaning under a very modern spelling, though the exact route is partly uncertain, which we note.
