Subject: Leotard; Tricky one

So everyone knows that Leotard comes from the French trapeze artist "Léotard" but, where does his surname comes from? All searches for this seemingly French surname result in doubling the fact that a leotard owes its name to a Jules... But the surname is itself untraced in these sources... And know that the Jules are here... What about "Verne"? No mention of him in this page... It just gimme all these wacky ideas on its possible origin, but I can't really know...
