My sisters middle name was Leokadia and she always wrote Rita so does anyone know the true English name.

My mother was born in Buffalo and given the name Leokadia. She told me that the nuns in school made her choose an American name before she entered high school. She was given the choice of Laura or Lillian. She chose Lillian. Thus, forever more she was known as Lillian to all except her parents. Sorry to drag this out another time but I find these little stories interesting and fun.
