Leveny is English, Scottish in Origin.

Leveny is a rare modern given name in English, likely formed as an elaboration of the Scottish and Northern English place‑name Leven, found in several rivers and towns. The hydronym Leven is generally viewed as Celtic in origin; proposals connect it either to Brittonic elements meaning “smooth; flood” or to Gaelic leamhan “elm,” so Leveny can carry senses of “river” or “by the elm.” The -y ending adds a soft, familiar cadence common in contemporary feminine names.

As a first name, it sees little documented use before the late 20th century and remains uncommon, appearing sporadically in Anglophone records. It fits a broader trend of place-derived and surname-like choices (compare Leven as a unisex forename). Spelling variants include Levenie, Leveni, and Levena; related forms are Leven, Levin (masculine), and Levine (a surname of Hebrew origin, often an influence in spelling but etymologically distinct). Possible nicknames are Lev, Levy, Veni, and Leni.
