Lee is a given name derived from the English surname Lee (which is ultimately from a placename derived from Old English ''leah'' "clearing; meadow"). As the surname of Robert E. Lee (1807-1870), the name became popular in the American South after the Civil War, its popularity peaking in 1900 at rank 39 as a masculine name, and in 1955 at rank 182 as a feminine name. The name's popularity declined steadily in the second half of the 20th century, falling below rank 1000 by 1991 as a feminine name, and to 666 as of 2012 as a masculine name.〔(behindthename.com )〕 In the later 20th century, it also gained some popularity in the United Kingdom, peaking among the 20 most popular boys' names during the 1970s to 1980s, but it had fallen out of the top 100 by 2001.〔(babynames.co.uk )〕 Lee is also a hypocoristic form of the given names Ashley, Beverly, Kimberley, and Leslie (all of which are also derived from English placenames containing ''-leah'' as a second element; with the possible exception of Leslie, which may be an anglicization of a Gaelic placename). ==People== In art: * Lee Miller, American model and photographer * Lee Quiñones (born George Quiñones), American graffiti artist In music: * Lee Ving, Guitarist and singer of the American hardcore punk band FEAR * Lee DeWyze, American singer and the winner of Season 9 of ''American Idol'' * Lee Gaze, guitarist for Lost Prophets * Lee Greenwood, American country music singer known for the song "God Bless the USA" * Lee Harding, Australian singer * Lee Konitz, American jazz alto saxophonist * Lee Morgan, an American hard bop trumpeter * Lee Mulhern, Irish pop singer also known as Lee.M * Lee Ranaldo, guitarist (and occasional vocalist) for Sonic Youth * Lee Ryan, English singer * Lee Scratch Perry, Jamaican musician * Lee Wiley, American jazz singer from the big band era * Lee Dorrian, singer, Napalm Death, Cathedral In film and television: * Lee Grant, American television/film actress * Lee McKenzie, Scottish television reporter * Lee Majors, American actor * Lee Marshall, Canadian television announcer * Lee Marvin, American actor * Lee Meriwether, American actress who was Miss America 1955 * Lee Pace, American actor * Lee Remick, American actress in film and television * Lee Tamahori, New Zealand director * Lee Tergesen, American actor * Lee Unkrich, American director * Lee Van Cleef, American actor * Lee Mack, English comedian and actor In politics: * Elbert Lee Guillory, Louisiana African-American Republican * Lee C.
