What name to choose for a boy? This question is asked by thousands of people who are about to welcome their son into the world. A large selection can be helpful, but in many cases it can also confuse the mind. So we look for suggestions, browse name books and calendars with name day dates written down. It is also worth checking the government’s “Open Data” list, where we can find the most common – or quite the opposite – rarest names that parents choose. One of them holds a special place in the hearts of many parents. At least those from Mazovia.
What name for a boy? This one is loved by parents from Mazovia
In 2023, almost 5,000 Leons were born in Poland. This name has been gaining popularity for several years. Parents value it for its tradition, length, and direct association with one of the most majestic animals. It is worth adding a few popular people with this name, including Leon Niemczyk, Leon Schiller, Lionel Ritchie, or Lionel Messi.

As it turns out, out of almost 5,000 boys named Leon, the Masovian voivodeship is the clear leader, where it was given to as many as 727 children, followed by the Wielkopolska voivodeship (575), the Silesian voivodeship (483) and the Lesser Poland voivodeship (457). The fewest, 96 Leons, were born in the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship.
Leon – a name for a true artist
Leon celebrates his name day several times a year, but the most popular date is November 10. This name is directly associated with the lion, and rightly so. It comes from the Latin “leo” meaning a man of extraordinary strength and courage. It is no wonder that many parents decide on such a choice. As it results from the book of names, Leon is the life of the party, loves being around people, is cheerful and very open. He is charismatic, determined and ambitious, but he is not particularly eager to work. He is also characterized by a great sensitivity to beauty. He is a born artist. He values great love above all else. And how is/was it for you to choose a name for your child? Did you think about it for a long time? If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
