Levon
From Hebrew, an Armenian-linked form meaning "lion". It barely registers in Poland: two boys got the name last year, and most people here will never meet a Levon.
Levon Pronunciation
What Levon means
Where Levon comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Levon comes from Hebrew, and its meaning is plain: lion, lew in Polish. Behind it sits lavi, a Hebrew word for the lion, so the name hands its bearer an animal rather than a virtue. No saint stands over it in the Polish calendar. It arrives without a name-day and without diminutives, which is rare for a boy's name here.
Say it once and it stays.
Elton John recorded a song called "Levon" in 1971, and for many readers outside Poland that record is where the name is first heard. A boy named Levon in a Polish class register would sit apart from the Leons and the Leonards, near them in sound and separate in root.
The meaning does not soften over time. Lion is lion. The sense stays fixed to lew, to the Hebrew lavi that started it.
