Leonard Cohen and his paternal grandfather Rabbi Solomon Klonitsky-Kline, Brooklyn, New York, in 1953.
Leonard in an interview with Arthur Kurzweil from The Leonard Cohen Files:
“My mother’s father, 'Rabbi Solomon Klonitsky-Kline' is the way that they transcribed his name in the publications that were printed here. He was known as Sar HaDikduki, the Prince of Grammarians. And he wrote a thesaurus of Talmudic interpretation (A five part book, each treating a book of The Five Books of Moses, Ozar Taamei Hazal, was published in New York in 1939) and a dictionary of synonyms and homonyms...”
Lyon Cohen, father of Nathan B. Cohen and Leonard Cohen’s paternal grandfather.
“Lyon Cohen (1868–1937), business tycoon and community leader, was born in Poland. As a child, he moved with his family to Ontario and later to Montreal, where Lyon and his father, Lazarus, entered the coal business together. Cohen went on to establish himself as owner of one of Montreal’s largest clothing corporations, the Freedman Company (in whose factory Lyon’s grandson, the poet and singer Leonard Cohen, briefly worked in the 1950s), and as the leading figure of the more affluent, West End-based uptowner contingent of the Jewish community. Lyon Cohen served at one time or another as president of the Baron de Hirsch Institute, the Clothing Manufacturers Association of Montreal, the Montefiore Club, the first meeting of the Canadian Jewish Congress in 1919, and Congregation Shaar Hashomayim... In 1897, Cohen and Samuel W. Jacobs founded the Jewish Times, the first English-language Jewish-interest newspaper in Canada. It was the newspaper of the establishment, promoting speedy Canadianization of recent East European arrivals and the acceptance of British customs.”
Read more about Lyon Cohen at the Museum of Jewish Montreal.
About the name Leonard, Ira B. Nadel, in his biography of Leonard, Various Position (1996), writes:
“His chosen names reflected a family tradition of L’s, in Hebrew, the “Lamed,” beginning with Lazarus [Leonard’s great-grandfather] and Lyon and continuing with Cohen’s daughter Lorca. He was also thought to look more like his grandfather Lyon than his father Nathan. His Hebrew name, Eliezer, means 'God is my help.' Norman is the anglicized form of Nehemiah, the rebuilder. The names were significant because in Hebrew, words embody divine attributes.”
Nathan B. Cohen, Leonard’s father, (1891 - 1944).
Leonard Norman Cohen was born on September 21, 1934 to Nathan B. Cohen and Masha Cohen (nee Klinitsky-Klein).
Leonard performed at Symphony Hall in Boston, MA on February 9, 1975.

1974 University Of Rome Performance
Part of the answer comes from the Ondarock website:
"...someone at the State University had heard that Leonard was in Rome, and he agreed to improvise a concert in the Great Hall of Law, all organized in twenty-four hours. He didn’t have a manager with him... he showed up with that guitar at the University, and began to sing with the microphone that was on the counter of the classroom in a very spontaneous way..."
