Meaning
Derived from the Old
German elements liut "people" and bald "bold, brave". The spelling was altered due to association with Latin
Leo "lion". This name was common among
German royalty, first with the Babenbergs and then the Habsburgs.
Saint Leopold was a 12th-century Babenberg margrave of Austria, who is now considered the patron of that country. It was also borne by two Habsburg Holy
Roman emperors, as well as three kings of Belgium. Since the 19th century this name has been occasionally used in England, originally in honour of
Queen Victoria's uncle, a king of Belgium, after whom she named one of her sons. It was later used by
James Joyce for the main character,
Leopold Bloom, in his novel
Ulysses (1922).
