Levona is Armenian, English, Hebrew in Origin.
Levona is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, from levonah (לבונה), “frankincense,” the aromatic resin long associated with worship and blessing. It is attested throughout the Hebrew Bible, notably in Temple offerings and in the Song of Songs with myrrh and spices. The term derives from the Semitic root L‑B‑N, “white,” referencing the pale resin, which gives the name overtones of purity, sacred fragrance, and prayer.
As a personal name, Levona remains uncommon but is used in modern Israel and the Jewish diaspora by families seeking a nature- and ritual-evoking choice. Variant spellings include Levonah and Livona; it is closely related to Levana (“moon; white”), though with a distinct meaning. Nicknames such as Vona or Livi occur in English contexts. Comparable thematic names include Ketzia/Keziah (cassia) and Hadassah (myrtle). Typical pronunciation is leh-VOH-nah.
