Leslie ("holly garden") was originally a place-name in Scotland.
The place-name became the surname of the people who lived there. The surname became a boys' name, and the boys' name became a girls' name. For girls it is usually spelt LESLEY, which is why LESLIE has remained with us as a boys' name.
Most boys' names that become girls' names (Beverley, Shirley, Jocelyn) soon stop being used for boys, so Leslie is an exception.
