Levovits
Levovits is a surname of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. It commonly appears in the form Levovits or Levovitz, with related variants such as Levovics, Levitov, and Levit(s)ky. The name is generally understood as a patronymic linked to the given name Levi, a prominent biblical figure associated with the Tribe of Levi. Through Slavic-influenced surname suffixes such as -ovitz, -ovics, or -itz, the form is interpreted as indicating “son of Levi” or “descendant of Levi.” Some discussions note a possible alternative inspiration from the Hebrew root lev, meaning heart, but this is less widely established.
