Leocadia

Leocadia is a name given to females. It has its origin in Spanish and Latin. The meaning of Leocadia is ‘bright’ or ‘clear’. The name could have its origins in the Latin name Leucius, or the Latinised form of the Greek island Leukadia derived from Leukas, which translates into ‘light’, ‘bright’, and ‘clear’, or the name of the ancient Greek elements: leukos which equally means ‘bright’, ‘shinning, or ‘gleaming’. The Spanish Saint Leocadia also popularized the name. She is believed to have perished on December 09, 304 AD, during the persecution under Diocletian. Leocadia is also a girl's name of Spanish origin, meaning 'splendid brightness'.
Leocadia was used in Spain and her colonies, especially Mexico and Peru, at least as early as the 16th century. Leocadio was also used, although less often. Leocadia was widely used in the 18th century in Europe, notably in Germany, Belgium, and Canada.
