lehl

Lehl is a proper noun primarily used as a surname and, in some cases, as a place name in German-speaking regions. The spelling with a single l is found in records from Germany, Austria, and parts of Switzerland, and it has also appeared among descendants of German-speaking emigrants in other countries. The exact origin and meaning of the surname Lehl are not clearly documented in standard reference works; like many Germanic surnames, it may derive from a toponym (a place name) or from an obsolete descriptor associated with a geographic feature or occupation. In onomastic studies, Lehl is considered relatively uncommon, with distribution that tends to be localized rather than widespread.

There are no widely recognized figures or institutions whose primary claim to fame is the name Lehl in major reference works. As with many surnames, individual bearers may be private citizens or professionals whose work is not broadly noted in encyclopedic sources. The lowercase form “lehl” is not used as a common English word, and any uses beyond the surname or toponym are typically specific to particular organizations, products, or fictional works and would require context to identify.
