The levander Surname
levander Name Meaning and History
Swedish (also common in Finland): ornamental name of various
origins. One 19th century bearer of the name, a priest, took it from
the name of his home farm, Hjärtungen, translating Swedish
hjärta ‘heart’ into Hebrew lev and adding the suffix
-ander, a derivative Greek andr- ‘man’. In another
example, the surname was taken from Levene, a place in
Västergötland province.
