History & Origin

Levonia is recorded from 1902 onward, reaching its modest best around 1923 as this style of layered, musical name was in fashion.

It stayed a small regional choice throughout, only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, and it had largely disappeared from records by the early 1970s.

Did you know? Levonia fits a broad early-1900s pattern of Southern coinages built from prefix-plus-suffix pieces rather than a single traceable root word.
