Levyah is Hebrew in Origin.

Levyah is a modern Hebrew-derived feminine name with two plausible etymologies. One connects it to Hebrew leviyah/levi’ah (לביאה), “lioness,” the feminine counterpart of lavi, “lion,” a poetic biblical term. Another treats Levyah as a feminine elaboration of Levi (לֵוִי, “joined, attached”), adding the theophoric -yah element (short for the divine name), yielding the devotional sense “joined to God” or “Yah has joined.”

As a given name, Levyah sees contemporary use in Israel and the Jewish diaspora, especially from the late 20th century onward, often chosen as a distinctive alternative to Leah or as a feminine echo of Levi. English pronunciations vary between leh-VYAH and LEH-vee-uh. Spelling variants include Leviah, Leviyah, and Levia; Livia is sometimes used as a stylistic cousin, though it derives from Latin Livius and is etymologically unrelated.

⚙ Levyah turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
