According to Social Security data, the name Leonard peaked at rank 37 in 1917, while the variant Lenoard first appeared in 1912 but never achieved widespread use.

Lenoard is a variant spelling of Leonard, derived from the Old High German elements 'leon' (lion) and 'hart' (brave, hardy). The name was introduced to England by the Normans and became popular in the medieval period, often associated with Saint Leonard, a 6th-century Frankish hermit and patron saint of prisoners.
