[Facts] Re: What does the name Leonisa mean?
in reply to a message by ari.
Indeed. It could also have been based on (or inspired by) the Italian word leonessa meaning "lioness":https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/leonessa#Italian (in English)

Forchta in biuonga quamon ouer mi, in bethecoda mi thuisternussi.
In ic quad: "uuie sal geuan mi fetheron also duuon, in ic fliugon sal in raston sal?"

Hi Lucille!!!I agree.
In Italian lioness is leonessa, in Spanish is leona, in Portuguese leoa and in French lionne.The Italian form is similar to Leonisa.
