Leokadia, derived from the Slavic elements 'lech' meaning 'people', and '-kadia', a suffix denoting association or kinship, can be interpreted as 'of the people'. This unique name has been used traditionally among Slavic nations, particularly in Poland and Russia. It's composed of three distinct syllables, /leh-o-ka-dee-a/, which gives it a soft yet distinctive sound when spoken aloud.
Leokadia was a popular name among parents during the early 20th century, with peaks in popularity between 1917 and 1919, but its usage seems to have declined by 1926.
