Léon
[leˈɔ̃]Meaning
French form of Leon, from Greek λέων (leon), meaning "lion"
Background Story
Léon is the French form of Leon, a name derived from the Greek λέων (leon), meaning "lion". 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 it was a common name among Jews.
