Tips

culture

利奥波德 is the standard Mandarin transliteration of Leopold. The most historically prominent bearers are the three Belgian kings — especially Leopold II (利奥波德二世, 1835-1909), notorious for his brutal rule of the Congo Free State. The name is also borne by composer Leopold Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus's father) and by characters in Austrian and German history.
