Leonni is Latin in Origin.
Leonni is a contemporary respelling of Leonie/Leoni, the feminine form of Leon. The root traces to Latin Leo and Greek Leon, meaning “lion,” giving the name the sense of “lioness” or “lion‑hearted.” Léonie was widely used in 19th‑century France, and Leonie later rose to the top ranks in German‑speaking countries and the Netherlands in the 1990s–2000s; Leoni appears in Italy and Switzerland both as a given name and surname. The double‑n Leonni surfaces mainly in recent English‑language records as a modern, stylistic twist.
Close relatives include Léonie (French), Leonie (German/Dutch/English), Leoni (Italian/Swiss), Leona and Leone (English/Spanish/Italian), and the longer Leontine/Leontina. Masculine counterparts are Leon, Leo, Lionel, and Leonardo. Common short forms are Leni and Leo. With its leonine roots and international family of variants, Leonni blends classic strength with an updated, softly rhythmic profile.
