levings Name Meaning and History

  1. North German: variant of the habitational name Lewing, from a place near Stade in Lower Saxony.
  2. North German: patronymic from a personal name (Lehwing or Lewien), formed with Middle Low German lev ‘dear’ + win ‘friend’.
  3. English: perhaps a habitational name from Levens in Cumbria, probably so named from the Old English personal name Leofa (+ genitive n) + næss ‘promontory’, ‘headland’.
  4. Possibly a hypercorrected spelling of Irish Levens, a County Louth name, which Woulfe interprets as an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Dhuinnshlébhín, a variant of Dunleavy.
