Leander

The meaning of Leander is ‘lion man’. It is a name typically given to boys and is of Greek origin. It is derived from the ancient Greek word 'léandros' which is composed of the Greek words 'leon,' which means lion, and 'andros,' which means 'man'. Leander is the name of a Greek mythological character who is best known for the story of 'Hero And Leander.' Hero was an Aphrodite priestess in the tale, while Leander was a commoner from Abydos. Abydos was a city across the water from Sestoss where his lover, Hero, lived in a tower. According to the myths, Leander swam across the Hellespont every night to meet her. Hero stood at the top of the tower, guiding him with a torch. However, disaster struck one night when Leander drowned in a storm. Hero plunged to her death from the top of the tower after she discovered his body washed up on the shore. The name Leander became well-known as a result of this tale. It is also the first name of Saint Leander of Seville, a Catholic Bishop.
