What's included in the Leonidas worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital L + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #510; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Leonidas sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “L” on, most of its 8 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letter “d” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Leonidas was the #510 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Leonidas tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Leonidas:

L — One big line down, then turn the corner and draw a bar along the bottom without lifting the pencil.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Leonidas: “L” and “d” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 8. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Leonidas is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 466 of the 965 boys' names.

Leonidas was the #510 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. One page is all it takes: three-line handwriting guides with a descender line below them, sized for US Letter and printing cleanly on A4.

Tips for tracing Leonidas

At 8 letters, Leonidas is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
Call out “tall, small, small, small, small, tall, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Leonidas.
Close with a single unguided Leonidas on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Leonidas into a traceable outline; the solid light-gray style shows the whole letterform to write over. Most families start dotted and move to gray as pencil control improves — the dark example row stays either way.

Letter size

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Because Leonidas runs 8 letters, medium or small keeps the whole name on each line; use large for single-letter warm-ups.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Leonidas print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
