Leevi

Leevi is a masculine given name of Finnish origin. It is a Finnish form of Levi, itself derived from the Hebrew given name Levi, borne by one of the biblical sons of Jacob and the progenitor of the Levite tribe. In Finland, Leevi has been used since the 19th century and remained modestly popular through the 20th century, though it is less common for newborns today. The name is primarily found in Finland, with limited usage in other countries.

Notable people with the name include Leevi Madetoja (1887–1947), a Finnish composer and conductor known for his contributions to Finnish classical music in the early 20th century.
