levre

Levre is a term that may refer to several related but distinct concepts. In French, lèvre (with the accent) is a common noun meaning lip; it denotes the fleshy border of the mouth and is used in anatomy, cosmetics, and dentistry, for example la lèvre supérieure and la lèvre inférieure. The word derives from Latin labrum, via Old French.

Levre may also occur as a surname of French origin, and can be found in genealogical records and surname databases. As a family name, it may be borne by individuals in French-speaking communities, though it is relatively uncommon.

In toponymy and on maps, Levre is not a widely used place name; if it appears, it would typically be as a small locality or in toponymic compounds, but there are no widely recognized geographic entities by this exact spelling.

In English-language sources, the accent is often omitted, yielding "levre," though proper usage retains the accent in French loanwords.
