Leapt

Leapt is the past tense and past participle of the verb leap. In contemporary English, two accepted past forms exist: leapt and leaped. Leapt is more common in British English and in formal writing, while leaped is frequently used in American English and in casual contexts. Example: She leapt over the stream.

As a proper noun, Leapt is rare. It may appear as a surname or as a fictional or brand name, but there are no widely recognized people, places, or organizations by that name.

Linguistically, leapt and leaped are both considered correct past forms of leap; the choice often depends on regional practice and style guidelines. The meaning remains jumping or springing, and the word is used in contexts describing motion, agility, or sudden action.
