Leon Name meanings & History

Lion, brave, bold, strong. Derived from Greek λέων (leon) meaning "lion". During the Christian era this Greek name was merged with the Latin cognate Leo, with the result that the two forms are used somewhat interchangeably across European languages. In England during the Middle Ages this was a common name among Jews. A famous bearer was the Communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky (1879-1940), whose name is Лев in Russian. The name Leon is used in many cultures around the world, including Greek, English, French, and German. It is popular for both baby boys and adult men.
