I highly doubt the claim and I have never heard of such a thing. I'm about 99% sure the website is correct. The "laos" element is an ending in every name I can think of that includes it: Archelaos, Alexilaos, Hermolaos, Menelaos, and Nikolaos. The "lea" in Leander and Leandros coming from "leon" rather than "laos" makes more etymological and structural sense.
