Leandro is Greek in Origin.
Leandro is the Romance form of Greek Leandros, built from leon “lion” and anēr/andros “man.” Celebrated in the legend of Hero and Leander, the name passed into Latin as Leander and entered Christian usage through Saint Leander of Seville (6th century), a formative bishop in Visigothic Spain. Its sense is often rendered “lion-man” or “lion of a man,” suggesting bravery and commanding presence.
Firmly rooted in Iberian and Italian traditions, Leandro is common in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and across Latin America - especially Brazil - while maintaining modest but growing recognition in English-speaking countries. Notable variants include Leander (English, German, Scandinavian), Léandre (French), Leandre (Catalan/Occitan), and Leandros (Greek); feminine forms are Leandra and Léandra. Nicknames such as Leo and Andro are typical. The blend of classical heritage and pan-Romance familiarity gives Leandro broad cross-cultural appeal. Many calendars observe a name day on March 13 for Saint Leander.
