History & Origin

Leandria is an ornamental feminine form of Leander, extending Leandra with an '-ia' ending. Leander, from the Greek 'leon' (lion) and 'andros' (man), belonged to the legendary youth who swam the strait each night to reach Hero. Leandria carries that classical strength in a softer, more elaborate shape.

Leandria was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the late nineteen-eighties. A girl named Leandria then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? The 'lean-' in Leandria is the Greek word for lion, so this graceful girls' name quietly carries the strength of Leander, the youth of Greek legend who swam the Hellespont for love.
