Hebrew roots
Levi comes from the Hebrew Levi, meaning joined or attached. In Genesis, Leah names her third son Levi hoping it will make Jacob feel joined to her. The tribe of Levi became Israel's priestly tribe — the Levites served in the Temple. Levi Strauss (1829–1902) emigrated from Bavaria to San Francisco during the Gold Rush and created blue jeans, the most iconic garment in American history. The name has surged into the US top 20.
