Best Answer

This may be a distortion of the name Levi or Levy, a Biblical name for one of the tribes of Israel. As a surname it is often used by Jews of both European and Middle Eastern origin. In some cases, but not all, it may indicate membership in the Levi tribe.

As a personal name it has been used by both Christians and Jews over the centuries.
