The original meaning behind the name Lean is unclear, but it's believed to be a personal name rather than a place or descriptive term. Mclaine has been used predominantly as a male name in Ireland and among Irish communities abroad, though its usage may vary depending on cultural and familial preferences. It is not ranked among the most popular names in recent years, contributing to its unique and uncommon status.
