The first element may be related to Old High German lesa (“wrinkle”) and Middle Dutch lese (“track, furrow”). Alternatively, the toponym may derive from an unknown word suffixed with the collectivising suffix Old Dutch *-uþi. Compare Boekend, Leesten, Leusden, Lieseind, Liessent, Ulvend and Vaareind.
