📖 Sobre Léopold
Léopold é a distinta forma francesa do nome germânico Leopold, que significa 'audaz entre o povo'. Enraizado na nobreza medieval dos Habsburgos — onde São Leopoldo III da Áustria se tornou padroeiro de uma nação —, o nome ganhou grandeza real através dos reis belgas e prestígio intelectual através de Léopold Sédar Senghor, o poeta-presidente senegalês que se tornou o primeiro africano eleito para a Académie française. Majestoso e historicamente rico, é um nome que une o peso da realeza à visão humanista.
