The surname León has its origins in Spain, specifically as a habitational name from the city of León in the northwestern part of the country. The city's name is derived from the Latin word "legio," referring to a Roman legion, as it was historically the site of the 7th Legion's garrison. Over time, the name evolved from "Legion(em)" to "Leon(em)," which led to its association with the Spanish word for lion, "león." This connection also gave rise to the use of León as a nickname for individuals known for their bravery or fierceness. Additionally, the surname appears in Greek culture, where it similarly means 'lion.'
