Lion, the king of beasts whose roar commands silence across the savanna — Leo is the Latin word for lion and the name of thirteen popes, one of the great constellations, and the zodiac sign of midsummer. It carries the regal confidence of an animal that fears nothing, the warmth of a golden mane in the August sun, and the compact majesty of a three-letter name that contains an entire kingdom

Mind, intellect, the bright spirit of a keen thinker — Hugo descends from the Frankish word for mind and has been carried by dukes, saints, and one of the greatest novelists in the French language.

From Germanic heimrich: heim (home) + ric (ruler, power)
