Leveret is an English word-name meaning "young hare," especially in its first year. It descends from Anglo-Norman/Old French leveret, a diminutive of levre/lievre "hare," ultimately from Latin lepus (genitive leporis). The imagery suggests quickness, alertness, and the shy grace of springtime wildlife.

As a given name, Leveret is rare and largely modern, though its close form Leverett appears in colonial-era surnames and in figures such as Massachusetts governor John Leverett. Today it reads as a fresh, nature-forward, gender-neutral choice alongside names like Wren or Fox. Spellings and related forms include Leverett (more common as a surname) and Leverette; informal nicknames might be Lev or Rett. Because the root is the common English noun, the meaning is transparent across the Anglophone world, while the French and Latin lineage lends the name a quiet, scholarly pedigree.
