Lennart is Germanic in Origin.
Lennart is the Scandinavian, Low German, and Dutch form of Leonard/Leonhard, from Old High German Leonhard (leo/leon 'lion' + hard 'brave, hardy'), giving the sense lion-strong or brave as a lion. The double-n spelling is typical in Scandinavian and Low German orthography, and the name spread north through medieval and early modern German influence, strengthened by devotion to Saint Leonard of Noblac.
Use is strong in Sweden, the Swedish-speaking community of Finland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and northern Germany, with a mid-20th century peak. Notable bearers include Estonian statesman Lennart Meri, Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson, and UEFA president Lennart Johansson. Related forms are Leonard (English), Leonhard (German), Lennard and Lennert (Dutch/Flemish), Lenart (Slovene), and Lenárd (Hungarian); nicknames Len, Lenny, and Lennie are common, underscoring a meaning tied to steadfast courage and dependable strength.
