Levi Origin and Meaning

The name Levi is a boy's name of Hebrew origin meaning "joined, attached".

Levi, lighter and more energetic than most biblical names, with its up vowel ending, combines Old Testament gravitas with the casual flair associated with Levi Strauss jeans.

Now it's being rediscovered in a major way—Levi has been shooting up the charts in recent years. Extremely popular in the US, it's also a Top 100 name throughout the English-speaking world as well as in a diverse range of countries from Germany to Brazil.

In the Old Testament, Levi was the third son of Leah and Jacob, from whom the priestly tribe of Levites descended; in the New Testament, Levi was Matthew's given name before he became an apostle. It is suspected that Levi derives from the Hebrew word yillaweh, meaning "he will join."

Levi received a lot of attention as the sons of Matthew McConaughey, Sheryl Crow and Sara Gilbert.

In the Thomas Hardy novel Far from the Madding Crowd, Levi Everdene is the father of the heroine.
