Levi
A newcomer here: barely given at all until this decade, now turning up on a handful of Polish boys each year. Hebrew at root, from a word for "joined" or "attached," and so far given only to boys.
Levi Pronunciation
What Levi means
Where Levi comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Levi is a Hebrew name, and it means joined, attached. Genesis gives it a source. Leah names her third son Levi and says that now her husband will be joined to her (Genesis 29:34). From that boy came the tribe of Levi, the Levites who kept the Temple.
The name settled into both Jewish and English use. Levi Strauss, born Löb Strauss in Bavaria, patented riveted work trousers in 1873, and his first name now sits on a back pocket in millions of wardrobes. In the Gospels the tax collector Matthew is also called Levi, which kept the name in Christian reading too.
There are no diminutives to soften it. On a Polish class register it stands as four plain letters. The meaning holds fast: joined.
