Levonna is English in Origin.

Levonna is a modern feminine name with Hebrew roots. It draws on two near-homophonous Hebrew words: levonáh (frankincense), the pale resin used in biblical incense, and levaná (the moon; whiteness), from the Semitic root L‑B‑N “white.” As a result, its sense ranges across “frankincense,” “white,” and “moon, lunar.”

In given‑name use, Levonna emerges in the mid‑20th century within Israeli and diaspora Jewish communities, fitting a trend for nature- and celestial-themed Hebrew names. It is rare but persistent in English-language records. Common variants and spellings include Levona, Levonah, Livona, and Levana; Levana is especially prevalent in Israel. The form Levonna likely reflects English doubling of the n to signal the short vowel. A related cultural echo is the Roman goddess Levana, presider over newborns being “lifted” (Latin levare), a phonetic cousin sometimes cited in modern name lore. Not to be confused with LaVonne/Yvonne.
