Leevi Origin and Meaning
The name Leevi is a boy's name.
Leevi is a masculine Finnish name, considered the Finnish variant of Levi. The name has Hebrew origins, meaning 'joined' or 'attached.' In the Bible, Levi was the third son of Jacob and Leah, and the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Leevi has been consistently popular in Finland for decades, often ranking in the top 30 boys' names. The double 'e' spelling reflects Finnish phonetic traditions and gives the name its distinctive Nordic character.
