About Leandro
Leandro is a variation of the Ancient Greek name Leander, created by combining the Latin words leo and Andro together, to get a meaning that suggests strength, power, and bravery. The Hero and Leander myth lends the name a romantic, poetical feel, while it's association to Bishop Leander of Seville gives it a more saintly quality.
Familiar in its native Spain, Portugal, and Italy, it has also been climbing up the US charts since it entered the Top 1000 back in 2005. Now, with names like Arlo, Leo, and Matteo in style, Leandro is given to around 560 boys each year, almost twice as many as were given the name a decade ago.
Pronounced lee-AHN-dro.
As of October 2026, Leandro ranked #406 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #384.
