The leotard is named after the French acrobat Jules Léotard, who popularized the garment in the 19th century. He was known for his aerial performances and wore the skin-tight outfit during his acts, which allowed for freedom of movement. The design has since become a staple in dance, gymnastics, and other performance arts.
