A name that means "bright, clear".

Leocadia comes from the Greek leukos (white, bright). Saint Leocadia of Toledo (died c. 304 CE) was a Spanish virgin martyr; the cathedral of Toledo is built on her feast day site.

Leocadia is widely used in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. Goya painted Leocadia Weiss, his late-life companion.

Where Leocadia stands.

Leocadia does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
