Luvena is in Origin.

Luvena is a rare feminine given name in English, probably a modern variant blending elements from Love and Louise and closely related to Louvenia/Luvenia; some also see it as a softened cousin of Lavinia. Because of these routes, the name is often interpreted either as “beloved” (via Love) or as “famous warrior” (from the Germanic elements hlūd “famous” and wīg “war” behind Louise).

The name appears in United States records from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth, with particular visibility in the American South and in African American communities, though it never gained broad national popularity. Today Luvena is uncommon but ripe for revival alongside other vintage, L-initial choices. Variant forms include Luvenia, Louvenia, Luvina, Lovena, Lovina, and Lavena; related names are Lavinia and Louisa. Nicknames range from Lu and Lulu to Vena and Vinnie, offering flexible, friendly short forms.
