Levanya is a modern South Asian feminine name, most often a contemporary spelling of Lavanya. It derives from Sanskrit lavanya, a noun meaning grace, charm, and loveliness, celebrated in classical kavya and later devotional poetry as a quality of divine and human beauty. The name gained wide use across India in the 20th century and remains familiar among Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi speakers, as well as in the global Indian diaspora.

Variants include Lavanya and Laavanya (reflecting the long ā in Sanskrit); extended spellings like Lavanyaa also appear. Common nicknames are Lavi and Anya.
