Leondrea is English in Origin.

Leondrea is a modern feminine given name blending the Greek-rooted Leon- ("lion") with the -drea element from Andrea/Andreas (from Greek aner, andros, "man, manly"), or interpreted as an elaboration of Leandra, the feminine form of Leander ("lion-man"). Together these elements evoke meanings such as "lion-hearted," "lion-strong," and "brave like a lion." The name aligns with broader Leon-/Lea- families found across Europe (Leon, Leona, Leandra, Leontine).

Usage appears chiefly in the United States from the late 20th century, particularly within African American naming traditions that favor inventive blends and melodic -a endings. Leondrea remains uncommon but recognizable, with variant spellings and related forms including Leondra, Leondria, Leandrea, and Leandra; masculine counterparts include Le'Andre and Leondre. The name's appeal lies in its classical roots married to contemporary style, signaling courage, dignity, and warmth while offering familiar nicknames like Drea or Lea.
