Leos Origin and Meaning

The name Leos is a boy's name of Slavic origin.

Leos is a masculine name with ancient Greek origins, derived from the Greek word 'leon' meaning 'lion.' It can be seen as a variant of Leo or a Grecian form of the name. In some Eastern European countries, particularly Czech Republic and Slovakia, Leos is used as an independent given name. The name carries powerful symbolism of strength, courage, and nobility—qualities long associated with lions across many cultures. While not common in English-speaking countries, it has maintained steady usage in parts of Eastern Europe. The name has a strong, compact sound that conveys masculinity while the final 's' adds a distinctive classical touch.
