Levaney is in Origin.

Levaney is a rare modern given name in English, likely formed by adapting Levana with the familiar -ey ending. In Hebrew, levaná denotes “moon” and by extension “white, shining,” giving Levaney a luminous sense. The form also echoes Latin Levana, the Roman goddess associated with the ritual of lifting newborns, from levare “to raise,” which adds an uplifting nuance to the name’s meaning. Because of these overlapping influences, Levaney is often interpreted as “moon-like” or “lifted, elevated.”

Usage is recent and scattered across English-speaking countries from the late twentieth century onward, with the name primarily feminine but occasionally chosen as unisex. Spelling variants include Levanie, Levanee, Leveny, and Levanie; related forms are Levana, Levina, and the vintage Lavinia. Possible nicknames are Lev/Levi, Vani, and Ney. Parents attracted to celestial or gently archaic tones may find Levaney distinctive yet accessible.
