Lion
Derived from the Latin word 'leo', this name symbolizes strength and majesty. While it has historical roots as a masculine name in Italy, it is increasingly used as a chic, gender-neutral option in English-speaking countries. It shares the same noble animal imagery as the more common Leo or Leonard.
About 25 boys were named Leone in 2025.
