It's interesting to look at the details of said German Wikipedia entry. For such a short entry, it has quite a long edit history, as can be seen here:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leander_(Vorname)&action=history

The meaning that BtN gives and the alternative meaning discussed here seem to battle it out, with the alternative seemingly winning for the moment...
