Leoni is Latin in Origin.
Leoni is a feminine given name derived from the leon- family (Latin leo, Greek leōn “lion”), conveying the sense of a lion or lion‑hearted courage. It functions chiefly as a streamlined variant of Leonie in German- and Dutch-speaking contexts and in Afrikaans, while in Italian Leoni is more familiar as a surname (plural of leone). The -i ending aligns with modern continental trends favoring brisk, vowel-final forms.
Léonie was well established in 19th‑century France and gained cultural visibility through figures such as Saint Léonie Aviat and Léonie Martin; from there, Leonie spread widely in Europe. Since the 1990s, Leoni has risen in use in Switzerland and South Africa as a chic, minimal spelling. Related forms and cognates include Léonie/Leonie, Leona, Leone, and Polish/Italian Leonia; short forms range from Leo and Loni/Lonie to Nia.
