The saint behind the name
Leontios
June 18, Martyr, Λεόντιος
The Holy Martyr Leontios was a soldier of Greek descent who suffered for Christ at Tripoli in Phoenicia in the early centuries of the Church. A man of courage and charity, he confessed the Lord before his accusers, and tradition tells that his steadfastness under torment brought even those sent against him to faith in Christ, so that they shared his martyrdom.
