📖 À propos León
León est la forme espagnole de Léo/Léon, du latin « leo » signifiant lion — l'antique symbole de courage, de royauté et de force. Porté par treize papes (notamment Léon le Grand, qui affronta Attila) et ancré dans la géographie de l'Espagne et du Mexique, León possède de profondes racines culturelles dans le monde hispanophone. Il fut porté par le théoricien révolutionnaire León Trotsky, le Premier ministre français Léon Blum, l'icône du folk argentin León Gieco, le poète León de Greiff et l'artiste conceptuel León Ferrari. Le prénom connaît un renouveau de popularité en Espagne et en Amérique latine.
