Learn What Your Name Means Day

These aren't the only "name" books I have, but they'll do the job! It is apparently also World Book Day, so the books can represent that too.
Very good choice. My name is always listed as 'from the Scottish surname, Leslie'. Boo!

@tinley23 The Scottish surname book has quite a long entry about "Leslie" which boils down to "its origin is rather obscure, but could be from placenames in either Fife or Aberdeenshire" and that there was a barony in Aberdeenshire as long ago as the 12th century with the spelling "Lesslyn". My own family (Dad's side) came from around the Aberdeenshire Leslie. I've even been there!
