Re: Leotard; Tricky one
in reply to a message by Getb
Léotard was an old personal name in France, even though its origin is probably german (see http://jeantosti.com/noms/l8.htm, even though the website is in french).
The translation of what is written on that website is: "Léotard, personal name of german origin, Leodhard (leod = people + hard = hard, strong). The last name is mostly spread in Hérault and in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, but it's also found in Loiret. It can also be found in the form Liotard. Italian variant: Leotardi."
