Meaning & origin

Levora is a rare American name that first appeared in the U.S. Social Security records in 1918, making it just over a century old. Its peak usage occurred in 1921, with a few dozen births that year, but it never achieved widespread popularity. The name has remained stable in its obscurity, never ranking in the top 1000. Like many names from that era ending in "-ora," such as Theodora or Elvira, Levora has a vintage feel, though it never caught on. Its top states of use are not recorded, indicating even regional popularity was negligible. Today, Levora is an uncommon choice, reflecting a period when parents were more willing to coin new names.

Levora first appeared in the United States around 1918, during a period when inventive names ending in "-ora" were fashionable. It may have been coined as a feminine elaboration of Levor, a surname of uncertain meaning, or as a variant of Lavira, itself a modern coinage. The name saw a small peak in popularity in 1921 but never entered widespread use.
