Leoben is an uncommon, yet intriguing given name of German origin. It is derived from the medieval German personal name Liutwin, which was composed of two elements: 'liut' meaning "people" and '-win', a short form of various names ending in '-win'. Therefore, Leoben could be interpreted as meaning "noble friend". The name gained prominence due to its association with Saint Liutwin, a 10th-century German monk known for his piety and miracles. Today, Leoben is rarely used, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
In Leoben, there were five babies born in the year 2012.
