The name "Leischner" has Germanic origins and is likely found first in Austria.

It could be a variation on the German word for meat - "Fleisch" and man "Mann", also a butcher or in German or "Fleischer", "Fleischhauer", "Fleischhacker" etc.

How the first letter morphed from "F" to "L" is not clear to me and perhaps someone else has an explanation.

There is also the more Germanic spelling - "Leuschner", with eastern German roots: metronymic from the female personal name Lusche, ultimately from Gertrud, with the genitive -er.

Someone more into genealogy may have more detailled information. See also link.
