History & Origin

Levorn is best read as a mid-twentieth-century American reworking of Lavern or Laverne, French-derived names tied to vern, 'the alder grove.' The Le-/-vorn styling is a distinctive American touch; the name belongs to the mid-century fashion for reshaped -vern names and does not point to a separate ancient root.

In the United States it stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 1950, with use into the nineteen-seventies. A man named Levorn then is in his seventies today.

Did you know? Its parent Laverne comes from a French place-name linked to alder trees, one of several -verne names that turned from surnames into first names.
