Leonides is a masculine name with ancient Greek origins, a variant of Leonidas, famously borne by the Spartan king who led the defense against the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae. The name derives from 'leon' meaning 'lion,' symbolizing courage and strength. This spelling variation maintains the heroic associations while offering a slightly different rendering of the classical name. Leonides is most commonly found in Greek and Spanish-speaking communities. The name carries powerful historical connotations of bravery, leadership, and self-sacrifice. While less common than Leonidas in international usage, it shares the same impressive heritage and commanding presence. The name's classical roots appeal to parents drawn to names with historical depth and heroic symbolism.
