History & Origin

Levis rests on Levi, Hebrew Lēwî, 'joined, attached' — the third son of Jacob and Leah, and the forefather of the tribe set apart for the priesthood. The -s form appears in Latin and Spanish usage and as a surname; in America the tailor Levi Strauss made Levi's a household word, an echo the name cannot escape, which we note (said 'LEE-vis').

It is rare in the U.S., far behind Levi. Rare, biblical-rooted, and brisk.

Did you know? Levi means 'joined' — the name Leah gave her third son, hoping her husband would be joined to her. Levis carries that root, though most Americans will hear the denim first, which we note.
