Origin and meaning
Leopold is a form of the Old High German name Liutbald , which is composed of the name syllables liut (Old High German for people ) and bald (Old High German for "kühn, brave").
The name Leopold was also spread by Saint Leopold , Margrave of Austria. He lived from 1075 to 1136, but was not canonized until 1485. The Leopoldsberg near Vienna is named after him. The name is therefore most widespread in the southern German-speaking area.
