Leontina is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the masculine name Leon, which means 'lion'. It was relatively popular during the Roman Empire and has since been used sparingly throughout history. The name Leontina is often associated with strength, courage, and nobility, much like its lion namesake.
Leontina saw its popularity peak around 1917 with 11 births that year, but it remained relatively consistent throughout the period from 1913 to 1925, with a total of 79 babies named Leontina born during those years.
