Leon Given Name Meaning & History
GENDER: Masculine; USAGE: English, German, Polish, Slovene, Croatian, Dutch, Ancient Greek. PRONOUNCED: LEE-awn (English), LE-awn (German, Polish, Slovene). Origin French and Spanish: Lion. The lion is a figure in art and religious symbolism of many cultures; symbolizing kingliness and grandeur and courage. Derived from Greek word Leon. 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 Leon Trotsky (1879-1940), a Russian Communist revolutionary. Leon comes from the Greek “Leon” meaning ‘lion’. The Latin equivalent is Leo and they are considered interchangeable at this point. The name Leon has been common among Jewish people owing to Genesis 49:9 when, prior to his death, Jacob gathers his twelve sons for his final blessing and foretells their respective futures. Famous Leons: Leon Day – baseball player, Leon Bright – football player, Leon Burton – football player, Leon Clarke – football player.
