The Story of Kinglee
Kinglee is a compound name combining "King" (from Old English cyning, meaning "ruler" or "tribal leader") and "Lee" (from Old English leah, meaning "meadow" or "woodland clearing").

It can also be read as a Chinese-American name, where "Lee" (李) is one of the most common Chinese surnames.
