All about the name LEONIDIS

Meaning, origin, history.

Leonidis is of Greek origin, derived from the hero Leontidas who fought bravely at the Battle of Thermopylae alongside King Leonidas I of Sparta against the Persian army in 480 BC. This name means 'lion-like' or 'brave like a lion', reflecting strength, courage, and leadership. It has been used in Greece for centuries but is less common elsewhere, making it distinctive and unique. The name Leonidis consists of two elements: 'Leont-' from the Greek word leontis meaning 'lion', and '-dis' which is a suffix derived from the Greek god Dionysus, symbolizing divine power or influence. In some variations, the name may also be spelled as Leontidis or Leontis.
