Like the lingerie brand? Presumably an elaboration of Leon.

Indeed. It could also have been based on (or inspired by) the Italian word leonessa meaning "lioness":

I agree.
In Italian lioness is leonessa, in Spanish is leona, in Portuguese leoa and in French lionne.

The Italian form is similar to Leonisa.
