From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Leonardo yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
4,425 births in 2019 was Leonardo's high point by count; the rank followed three years later, reaching #75 in 2022. Growth over the decade has been modest, 15%, landing at 3,951 births in 2024.
The record here has a genuine gap — first appearing in 1885, then nothing at all through the 1890s, before resuming in the 1900s and continuing steadily since.
Leonardo da Vinci and mathematician Fibonacci, born Leonardo Bonacci, give this name roots stretching back nearly 900 years; Leonardo DiCaprio carries it into contemporary Hollywood.
