Girl name · 29 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Leonna: 29 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1985.
Rooted in the Greek word *leon* meaning “lion,” Leonna is a feminine form of Leon, sharing its regal, courageous essence with the more familiar Leona and Léonie. While no major historical figure bears the exact spelling, the name echoes the fame of singer Leona Lewis, whose powerful voice brought global attention to the root. Leonna has no direct place connections, but its lion-hearted meaning resonates with towns like Lyon in France, which shares the same etymological origin. As a melodic variant of Leona, it offers a slightly softer, more distinctive feel while retaining the strength of its ancient source.
