Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio (born November 11, 1974) is an American actor and film producer who emerged as one of Hollywood's leading men in the 1990s and has maintained that status for over two decades. Born in Los Angeles, DiCaprio began his career in television before transitioning to film with notable roles in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and The Basketball Diaries. His breakthrough as a major star came with Titanic (1997), which made him a global phenomenon and launched him into the stratosphere of celebrity. Known for his collaborations with acclaimed director Martin Scorsese, DiCaprio delivered critically praised performances in The Aviator, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Shutter Island.

Thinking about the name
Leo
Latin origin
“Derived from the Latin 'leo,' meaning 'lion,' this name carries regal strength and courage across cultures. Leo has ancient roots in Roman naming and zodiac tradition, yet it remains fresh and contemporary. The name balances nobility with accessibility—a lion's heart with a friendly smile.”
