Nearly finished reading Walter Issacson's Da Vinci and highly recommend it for anyone interested in his life story. It paints a beautiful picture and demystifies his life into a way we can easily see ourselves, if we only take enough time to carefully observe our surroundings, question dogmas, and stay endlessly curious about the subtle and little things in life.

Perhaps you are thinking of The Door Into Summer:
"In Robert Heinlen's The Door Into Summer, Dr. Twitchell recounts a tale of a student whom he displaced in time by 500 years. While there was no way of knowing whether the student went to the past or the future, Dr. Twitchell hints that he believes it was the past due to the student's name—Leonard Vincent."
He mentions it in The Cat Who Walks Through Walls if you are interested.
