Livah Origin and Meaning

The name Livah is a girl's name.

Livah is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from the Hebrew name 'Leah' (meaning 'weary' or, alternatively, 'gazelle'), with the '-vah' suffix adding a modern touch. Others connect it to the word 'live,' suggesting vitality and life. It also bears resemblance to the Sanskrit-derived 'Liva,' meaning 'united' or 'blended.' This relatively new name has gained modest popularity in the early 21st century, particularly among parents seeking short, meaningful names with spiritual or nature connections. Livah's appeal lies in its brevity, soft sound, and contemporary feel while maintaining connections to ancient naming traditions. Its versatility allows it to work well internationally while remaining distinctive.
