Levana 1 is the Hebrew form of Lebanah, itself derived from the poetic Hebrew word for the moon. In the Hebrew Bible, the root לָבָן (lavan) means "white," evoking the moon's bright, silvery appearance. While Lebanah appears briefly in the Old Testament as a masculine name, its modern Hebrew revival as Levana typically carries feminine connotations. The name resonates with the lunar symbolism found in many cultures, where the moon often represents femininity, cycles, and gentle light. In contemporary Israel, Levana is used as a female given name, sometimes linked to the word yareakh for moon, but retaining its distinct poetic and biblical flavor. As a feminine form, it shares its thematic connection with other moon-related names like Luna or Selene, yet stands out for its Hebrew roots and biblical precedent.Meaning: Moon (poetic Hebrew)Origin: HebrewType: Feminine given nameUsage: Modern Hebrew, biblical derivative
