7. Little Leopold was born with bravery and courage
The name Leopold was already widespread in the Middle Ages and means something like the brave. Leopold is a modification of the Old High German boy name Luitbald. A modern and modified form of the name is, for example, the first name “Leo”, which is becoming very fashionable.
In the 15th century, the first name for boys became very fashionable. The people took the opportunity to venerate Saint Leopold. Anyone who names their son Leopold is giving the boy strength for life by naming him. Leopold also means “the bold or the brave”, which is why parents like to use the Old High German first name.
