A little one's name (3)

I believe the answer is:

leo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'name' is the definition.

'a little one's' is the wordplay.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leo that I've seen before include "certain stars" , "5th sign of the zodiac" , "Fifth sign of the zodiac" , "Lion constellation" , "of pride" .)
