Ieshan or Leshan - Page 2

No I guess people jokingly call him Lehsun which means garlic. 🤣 His real name is Ieshaan. But where does the Lehsun come from, I have no idea. 🤣

That’s because to a regular reader’s eye, the capital “i” in his name resembles the small “l,” hence making it look and sound “leshan” or “lehsan”. I guess, when they were naming him, no one ever informed his parents that the “i before e, except after c” rule only applies to the English “language,” and not to everything that’s written using the English alphabet. 😆
