Liepold Family Crest & Name History

Long before computers fixed spellings, Liepold and Leopold were used side by side. The name is generally explained as “Descendant of Leudbald or Leopold (people, bold)”.

Liepold is listed among the recognised spellings of Leopold. Local scribes, dialects and emigration all left their mark on how the name was written. The same family of names includes Leopoldo.

Arms linked to Leopold and its spellings were granted to individual families; our heraldry team traces which line they belonged to. Get the complete Liepold report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
