Leopold (given Name)
Leopold is the modern form of the Germanic languages, Germanic name ''Luitbald'', composed of two stems, common to Germanic names. The first part is related to Old High German ''wikt:liut, liut'' meaning "people", the second part ''wikt:bald, bald'' or ''wikt:balt, balt'' is of Germanic origin and means "brave". The name is not related to the names Leon (given name), Leon and Leonard which mean lion. The name gradually spread across Western Europe and during the 16th century it became popular in the southern Holy Roman Empire, due to the influence of the Margraves of Austria from the Babenberg dynasty. Over a dozen Austrian rulers took the name, as did nearly a dozen from other European realms. __TOC__ Artists * Leopold Blaschka (1822–1895), German glass artist * Leopold Scholz (1877–1946), American sculptor * Léopold Zborowski (1889–1932), Polish art dealer Businessmen * Leopold David de Rothschild (1927–2012), British banker * Leopold de Rothschild (1845–191 ...
