See Leka on Wiktionary

Proper name [Albanian]

IPA: [lɛːka]
Etymology: Uncertain. Mistakenly attributed as an old borrowing from Ancient Greek Ἀλέξανδρος (Aléxandros), However, the ks would not evolve into a voiceless velar plosive, usually a h, sh or shk, rendering this origin uncertain. see Llesh, Lesh. Alternatively, related to lekë (“mountaineer, lord”) from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“light”), possibly a synonym to Ancient Greek Ἀλβανοί (Albanoí, “a southern Illyrian tribe”), from *albʰós (“white”). Possibly a continuation of Illyrian Personal name Illyrian *Licca According to Baroness Marie Amalie von Godin, Lek, Lekë or Leka were originally the words for the governing Kanun, see doke or Latin lēx. It only became a proper name after the influence of Lekë Dukagjini.
