Usage Note
Lealtad conveys deep, personal faithfulness — to a person, a cause, or a group — rather than mere legal compliance. The adjective leal (loyal) is common. It contrasts with fidelidad (fidelity, faithfulness), which leans more toward constancy and can apply to a spouse or a faithful reproduction; lealtad stresses allegiance and solidarity.
Examples
"La lealtad entre amigos es un valor importante."
