📖 Über León
León ist die spanische Form von Leo/Leon, vom lateinischen „leo", was Löwe bedeutet — das antike Symbol für Mut, Königtum und Stärke. Von dreizehn Päpsten getragen (berühmtester Leo dem Großen, der Attila entgegentrat) und in der Geografie Spaniens und Mexikos verwurzelt, hat León tiefe kulturelle Wurzeln in der spanischsprachigen Welt. Er wurde vom Revolutionstheoretiker León Trotsky, dem französischen Premierminister Léon Blum, der argentinischen Folk-Ikone León Gieco, dem Dichter León de Greiff und dem Konzeptkünstler León Ferrari getragen. Der Name erlebt eine starke Wiederbelebung in Spanien und Lateinamerika.
