"Variant of Leontios"
The name Leonte is commonly a male name from the "Russian" origin.
Leonte is a form of the Greek personal name Leontios, built on the Greek word leon, meaning lion. It is recorded as a masculine given name in Romanian, and the identical form also occurs in Italian. It is not an American coinage; the United States birth records simply show it being used there from the 1980s onward.
Leontios means "Lion-like".
The pronunciation of Leonte is lee-ON-tay.
