Re: attn. Pavlos > LEANDER
Leandder (Leandros) is almost certainly related to "leon", as in "brave person".On a side note, "laos" (people) and "leia" (prey) are rtymologically related according to Liddel and Scott, "leia" being "the booty captured by the people, laos). I have found no credible reference suggesting that "leia" or "laos" are related to "leon".
