lion


Explanation:
Leibl: yiddish name, pet form of 'Leib', meaning 'lion'. English equivalent would be Leo. Hebrew names meaning Lion are Ari, Aryeh or Lavi. Feminine equivalents are Ariel or Ariella, meaning "lion of God". Another possible feminine name is Livia. For others, see "A Dictionary of Jewish Names and History" by Benzion Kaganoff and "The Complete Dictionary of English and Hebrew First Names" by Kolatch

disagree  Eynat: The English name Frank is unrelated to frank/honest. Amiti/genuine in Hebrew is spelled with alef, Amit/friend is spelled with ayin and the two are unrelated.
