Leandre

Leandre is a masculine given name of French origin, a variant of Leander. It derives from the ancient Greek name Leandros, which is formed from leōn, "lion," and aner, "man," and is commonly interpreted as "lion-man." The form Leandre is used primarily in French-speaking communities, while related forms appear in other languages, including Leander in English and Leandro in Spanish and Portuguese.

In usage, Leandre is relatively uncommon in contemporary naming, but it has persisted in regions with strong French cultural heritage such as France and parts of Canada and Africa. It is sometimes chosen for its classical resonance or familial associations with the name. In literature and media, Leandre may appear as a character name reflecting its historical roots.

Notable people: There are individuals named Leandre who have achieved recognition in various fields, especially within Francophone contexts, though the name is not widely represented in international celebrity lists.
