The name Levi is believed to come from the Hebrew word lavah, meaning "to be joined" or "to attach." In the Bible, Levi was Jacob's third son with Leah, and the founder of the tribe of Levi. He was also an ancestor of Jesus Christ. The name has appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for boy names every year since 1900, but didn't crack the top-100 for the first time until 2009. Levi has now been a top-20 boy's name every year since 2020 and is the name supermodel Karlie Kloss chose for her son Levi Joseph, born in 2021. "Psych" actor Dulé Hill also has a son named Levi, born in 2019.
