Leoni is a charming and elegant name for girls, pronounced as lee-OH-nee in English and leh-OH-nee in Italian. The name has roots in Latin, meaning "lioness," which symbolizes strength and grace. Leoni is closely related to variations such as Leonie and Leona, each carrying the same powerful connotations. Despite its beautiful sound and strong associations, Leoni remains relatively rare in the United States. In recent years, it has seen modest usage with occurrences fluctuating between 5 to 23 newborns annually from 2000 to 2023. This rarity makes it a unique choice for parents looking for a distinctive yet classic name for their baby girl.
