Léo
Léo is a masculine name for helping your little cub feel right at home in their pride. It's a French form of the always popular Leo, meaning ""lion"" in Greek. Since the '90s, this name has taken off, especially in Switzerland and French- and German-speaking nations. If baby has both Greek and Swiss roots, this name will honor the lasting bond between the nations. Léo is also beloved for its association with the most confident, fierce, and big-hearted of the zodiac signs. Baby will have a talent for turning frowns upside down and making you roar with laughter!
Leo is a reliable name that has been around for centuries. The Bump user aimee1899 also points out, “Leo is actually the 'root' or 'parent' of names such as Leonardo, Leonard, Lionel, Linus, and Leonidas, etc. Therefore, the full name of just Leo is older and totally usable on its own.” Leo and its variants have a timeless touch that can fit baby at any age.
