Lee

135 named individuals sharing the Lee surname-sound, across 3,792 entries. This grouping clusters spelling variants that sound alike; it may include distinct families that happen to share a sound, and it cannot merge unrelated spellings of one family (e.g. Bello Campo/Beauchamp), treat it as a research aid, not an assertion of kinship.

Surnames counted here remove or add families; this changes only your view, never the data.

Spellings in this family: “Lea” · “Lecy” · “Lee” · “Leeg” · “Lees” · “Leg” · “Lega” · “Lege” · “Legee” · “Legg” · “Legge” · “Legh” · “Legh'” · “Legha” · “Leghe” · “Legoy” · “Leia” · “Leie” · “Leigh” · “Les” · “Les-” · “Lesae” · “Lesce” · “Lescy” · “Lese” · “Lessa” · “Lesse” · “Lessy” · “Lesy” · “Leu” · “Leuys” · “Ley” · “Leye” · “Leyes” · “Leygh” · “Leyghe” · “Leys”
