History & Origin

Levonne grew from the fashion for La-/Le- prefixed girls' names, taking Yvonne, a French name meaning roughly 'yew', as its base. It flourished in the early-to-mid twentieth century alongside its cousin Lavonne.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its 1939 peak, and it slipped from records by the late 1980s. A girl named Levonne then would be a grandmother now, and the name stays tied to its era rather than the current vintage revival.

Did you know? Levonne belongs to a productive American pattern of adding La- or Le- to an existing name, the same impulse that produced Lavonne, Ladonna and Lavern.
