Leopold Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Old German Leudbald, Luitpold, compound of leudi 'people’ and balda ‘bold’. Names in leud- became leo- under the influence of Latin and Greek names. Leopold was occasionally used in England in the 19th C on account of the Queen’s connexions (e.g. her favourite uncle Leopold King of the Belgians, after whom, one of her ss. was named).
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
German Leutpold, ‘people’s prince.’ ‘Its introduction into England is quite recent,’ says Helena Swan in 1905, ‘and had, probably, some connexion with Leopold I (i 790—1865), King of the Belgians, who was an uncle of Queen Victoria, and after whom she called her fourth son.’ As the name of Kings and Emperors, it owes its prevalence to that Leopold who, styled ‘The Pious’, was Margrave of Austria and who, ‘beloved of God and man,’ died in 1136 (Benedictines).
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
Wachter renders this name ‘bold as a lion (audax instar leonis).’ It is doubtless the same name as the Old German Leopold, Leupold, Leodpold, Leutpold, Liupold, Liutbold, Liutpald, Liutpold; Luitbold, from the Francic or Alamannic liut-paldo, distinguished for boldness.
— Prænomina (1882) by Richard Stephen Charnock
Teutonic (masculine) - Beloved and brave.
— What is Your Name? (1863) by Sophy Moody
A Teutonic name, meaning: The people’s prince: bold for the people.
