Levander is a rare given name and surname with mixed roots. In English-speaking usage it most often appears as a modern variant spelling (LeVander also seen), shaped by the sound patterns of Leander, Evander, and the color/plant name Lavender. Scandinavia records Levander as a family name of ornamental type, which may also feed occasional given-name use.

The name’s meaning depends on the pathway chosen: from Greek Leander (Leandros), it conveys “lion-man” (leon + andros); from Greek Evander (Euandros), it means “good man”; from English Lavender, it recalls the fragrant herb, ultimately from Latin lavare “to wash,” symbolizing calm and purity. Attested as a given name in the United States for over a century, it remains uncommon but familiar through bearers in sports and the arts.
