Meaning and origin
From the biblical name Levi. Unlike the biblical spelling, which descended through continuous liturgical traditions that preserved final secondary stress (causing it to shift to IPA(key): /ˈliːvaɪ/), the surname was re-introduced into English after the 1650s via French Lévy and German Levy. The pronunciation IPA(key): /ˈlɛvi/ arose from assimilation to the common noun levy, while IPA(key): /ˈliːvi/ preserves the historical long vowel of the first syllable without final stress.
