Actually
in reply to a message by Rose-Berry
I made a post the other day about Lesya after I came across it in a linguistics article I was reading (she was one of the authors), and I believe it's a diminutive of Olesya and maybe a couple of other Russian names rather than a creative form of Lisa. Just thought you might be interested to know :)

I saw your post and nearly replied but didn't have time. The girl in my class was Leysa not Lesya and she did pronounce it Lisa, much to everyone's confusion! Teachers thought it was prn Laysa.

Oh!
My brain did not want that 'y' before the 's' for some reason. That is a very understandably confusing pronunciation.
