Alright... I didn't know there was a Feminine version of my own name, Leo! And... Now I think it looks dated. It looks nice but it's old-fashioned.
Leola Neal (1911–1995) was a Canadian psychologist. Neal taught at the University of Western Ontario where she was appointed the Dean of Women, and was the first female president of the Ontario Psychological Association and the second woman to serve on the board of the Canadian Psychological Association. Neal's work helped promote undergraduate psychology curriculums and define standards for psychological counselling.

This name is pretty. I can see why most people in the comments like it.
Leola Hall (1881–1930), also known as Leola Hall Coggins, was an American architect and builder who worked in the American Craftsman style. During the prime years of her career, she was the only female architect active in Berkeley, California, making her the East Bay counterpart of the much more famous Julia Morgan in San Francisco. The large number of houses she built in Berkeley, California, following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake defined what is now often considered Berkeley's signature version of the Craftsman style.
Honestly, I was unaware of the existence of this name until now! From what I see, it was a name that was quite popular in the early 1900s, but for some inexplicable reason has been forgotten. A real shame, if I have to be honest.Leola is a lovely name, at least from my point of view. Although it may have an aggressive meaning, as for "lion", the name is really feminine and striking. Love it. Why haven't I found out before? And why don't people use it more? A waste. Then I see more "modern" names with disastrous grammar being more popular than then super nice traditional names that people seem to have forgotten, like Ethel, Henrietta, Apolline, Lavinia...
I think Leola is lovely and very underused these days. It was my great grandma's name. She was born in 1912, and she said that when she was young, she knew lots of other Leolas, so apparently it used to be quite common. I can't imagine why it fell out of fashion. I say it's due for a comeback. If you're thinking of naming your daughter Leola, please do! :)
Leola is my middle name! It’s after my great grandma. It means “lion” which is a coincidence because my zodiac sign is Leo, which is also represented as the lion.
It's pronounced /li.ˈoʊː.lə/ (lee-O-lə) or /ˈliː.oʊ.lə/ (LEE-o-lə).
In 2018, 85 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Leola who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 807th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
The name Leola was given to 16 girls born in the US in 2015.
|-ola| is a Latinate feminine diminutive ending. It would mean "lioness cub" or "little lioness," rather than just "lioness."
I just read on another website that Leola is a form of Leala which is Old French meaning loyal, faithful. Other forms are Lealia, and Lealie.
