Levinah is Hebrew in Origin.
Levinah is a modern feminine variant of Levina, shaped by both Germanic and Hebrew traditions. In the Germanic stream, it relates to Levin, a short form of names from Old High German Leubwin/Leobwin (cognate of Old English Leofwine), meaning “beloved friend.” In Jewish contexts it can be read as a feminine of Levi (Hebrew Lewi), “joined, attached,” with the -ah ending echoing common Hebrew feminine forms. The surname Levina in Eastern Europe, derived from Levin, has also reinforced the given name.
Records show Levina/Levinia in Dutch, German, and English use since the Middle Ages, and the Anglo-Saxon form Lewina/Lewinna appears in the cult of the early English martyr St. Lewina. Contemporary variants include Levinah, Levina, Levinia, Lewina, and Lewinna; comparable spellings such as Levine occasionally occur. Though rare, Levinah travels well across Jewish and Christian communities. Meanings given: “beloved friend” or “one who is joined.”
Levinah is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 5 times, across 3 countries.
