The name Levi has become a favorite amongst new parents for being both traditional and trendy. It means “united," "joined,” or, sometimes, “joined in harmony." It has Biblical roots: in the Old Testament, Levi is the son of Jacob and Leah. The Levites are also one of the 12 tribes of the Israelites. In this way, Levi is a name signifying the unification or founding of something. Origin: The name Levi is Hebrew. The original Hebrew may have been Yewi or Lawa. It is first introduced in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. Gender: Levi is traditionally used as a boy name. Some parents, however, may want to use it as a name for a girl.

Pronunciation: LEE-vie or LEH-vee

Although many baby names are separated by gender, Verywell Family believes that sex does not need to play a role in your name selection process. It’s important to select a name that you feel suits your new baby the best.

How Popular Is the Name Levi?

As of 2020, Levi was the 18th most popular boy name in America, per the Social Security Administration. It’s the most popular the name has been since 1900, when the Social Security Administration's records began. In the early 2000s, Levi was not an uncommon or overly popular name—in 2000, for example, it ranked 172 in the United States. But in 2009 it broke into the double digits (ranking 85, to be exact), and it’s been on a steady incline ever since. Its sudden rise in popularity that year may have been thanks to actor Matthew McConaughey; in 2008, his wife Camila Alves gave birth to a baby boy and they named him Levi.

They don't ask about you or your life.

Not only is this impolite, it's also a pretty clear, straightforward sign that someone's not really feeling you. Your significant other should want to know how you're doing. They should ask you questions, maybe about your family, your job, or your beliefs, being sure to listen just as much as they speak. They don't have to be Barbara Walters, but they should maintain a genuine interest in getting to know you. If you think they're at a loss for words, you can always spur the conversation or turn it into some sort of game. The key is interest, not so much the content or the topic. Seriously, it can be something that seems really boring, but as research has pointed out, "couples build intimacy through hundreds of very ordinary, mundane moments in which they attempt to make emotional connections." You've got to build somehow, even if it is just by asking someone's favorite color.
