lészli

Lészli is a Hungarian given name, predominantly male. It is a variant of the more common Hungarian name László. The name László itself has Slavic origins, derived from the Old Slavic name Vlastislav, meaning "glorious ruler" or "famous power." Over time, through linguistic evolution and cultural adoption in Hungary, Vlastislav transformed into László, and Lészli emerged as a less frequent but recognizable variation.

The name Lészli, like László, is often associated with Saint Stephen of Hungary, who was the first King of Hungary and is a significant figure in Hungarian history and Christianity. While László is a widely popular name in Hungary, Lészli is used less frequently. This does not diminish its connection to Hungarian culture and tradition. Individuals named Lészli would share the same etymological roots and historical associations as those named László. The pronunciation of Lészli follows Hungarian phonetics, with the 'sz' digraph representing a 's' sound as in "sun." The 'é' is a long 'e' sound, similar to the 'a' in "say."
