French Baby Names: Classics making a comeback

Léonie is traditionally a feminine name with French origins, though recorded here as masculine, which is unusual. The name derives from the Latin 'leo' meaning 'lion,' sharing roots with Leon and Leonard. The feminine form became popular in France and French-speaking regions, symbolizing strength and courage through its lion association. The accent mark (é) emphasizes its French pronunciation and adds a touch of elegance. Léonie experienced varied popularity throughout Europe, particularly in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. In recent decades, the name has seen renewed interest as parents seek classic names with international appeal. While predominantly feminine in usage, some cultures have traditions of gender-fluid naming. The name carries a gentle strength, combining the lion's power with a melodic, flowing sound.
