Lenard
Meaning of Lenard
Lenard (pronounced LEH-nard) is a masculine name of Germanic origin, formed as a variant of Leonard from the Old High German elements leon, “lion,” and hard, “brave” or “strong.” This combination has long carried connotations of steadfast courage, giving the name a quietly noble air across Anglo-American cultures. Though it has never rivaled the more common spelling Leonard, Lenard has maintained a modest but steady presence in the United States, hovering near the 900th most popular boys’ name in recent years with roughly ten newborns annually. Its straightforward spelling and familiar sound provide parents with a low-key alternative that preserves traditional dignity without joining the crowd.
