Well, honey, Leavitt is a surname that can be of Jewish origin, but it's not exclusively Jewish. It's like asking if all Karens want to speak to the manager - some might, some might not. So, to sum it up, Leavitt could be Jewish, but it's not a guaranteed stamp of approval.
Yes and no.Leavitt is actually originally not a Jewish name. It is an English name that comes from Livet, a region in Normandy, France. Vikings conquered the area and a particular family had taken up the name by the time of the Battle of Hastings 1066, when William the Conqueror invaded England.However, many Jews bear the name Leavitt because of a misunderstanding at Ellis Island, New York, during the Emigration era of 1880-1920, since the name Leavitt sounds a lot like the Jewish names Levi and Levine. Because of this error, you can somewhat argue that Leavitt is now a Jewish name.
