Leverit is English in Origin.

Leverit is a rare given name with English surname roots, most closely related to Leverett. That surname traces to Anglo-French leveret, a diminutive of levre “hare” (Modern French lièvre), yielding the English word leveret, “a young hare.” As a transferred surname, forms like Leverett and Leveritt appeared in colonial New England; the name was borne by figures such as Governor John Leverett and, later, the Massachusetts politician Leverett Saltonstall, which kept it in modest circulation in the U.S.

Leverit reads as a streamlined, modern spelling. Variants and cognates include Leverett, Leveritt, Leverette, and the shorter Levert (sometimes from Old French vert “green”). Nicknames Lev and Rett are intuitive. The name’s imagery suggests quickness, alertness, and springtime vitality from the hare symbol. Though uncommon today, Leverit fits contemporary tastes for sleek, surname-derived choices with gentle, nature-inflected meanings.
