What is the meaning of the name Levana ?

The baby name Levana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced leh-VAH-nah (IPA: /lɛˈvɑnə/).

Levana is Hebrew, Latin in Origin.

Levana carries two intertwined origins. In Hebrew (לבנה, Levanah), it denotes “the moon,” deriving from the root L‑B‑N meaning “white, bright.” As Hebrew was revived in modern Israel, Levana emerged as a lyrical given name for girls, evoking lunar radiance, cycles of renewal, and nighttime serenity; it remains familiar there today.

In ancient Rome, Levana was the name of a protective childbirth goddess, her title linked to Latin levare, “to lift,” from the ritual of raising a newborn from the earth. This gives the name an additional sense of being “lifted up.” Common variants and spellings include Levanah, Levanna, and the related Hebrew form Levona/Levonah (“frankincense”), while short forms like Vana or Leva appear in modern use. Levana fits alongside celestial choices such as Luna and Selene, yet retains a distinctive cross-cultural history blending luminescence with blessing and uplift.
