About the name Leopold

Leopold is Habsburg royalty in name form, all court music and imperial portraits, and it has never quite shed the powdered wig. It survives in English mostly through Joyce's Leopold Bloom and the fact that it collapses neatly into the far trendier Leo.

Leopold is a boy name of Germanic origin, pronounced LEE-uh-pold. On the NameRarity scale it scores 93 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the Victorian era.
