History & Origin

Levy is a spelling of Levi — Hebrew for 'joined, attached', the name Leah gave her third son in Genesis hoping for marital closeness, ancestor of the priestly Levites — and a widespread Jewish surname. As a girls' first name it rides the unisex-Hebrew and surname-name currents.

It registers thinly for girls in recent records. Rare, harmony-rooted, and crisply modern.

Did you know? Levi Strauss made the surname Levy/Levi synonymous with blue jeans — but its Hebrew root is tender: Leah named her son Levi hoping her husband would finally be 'joined' to her.
