There was no person called 'Leviticus'. The book of Leviticus in The Bible comes from the Greek translation of the scriptures called the 'Septuagint' where this particular book was called 'Leuitikon' or 'matters of the Levites'. The Levites were one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and were named after Levi who was one of the 12 sons of Jacob, (who later had his name changed to Israel.)
However, in one respect the book of Leviticus isnamed after people :-
Leviticus 1: Verse 1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle
of the congregation, saying,
The book opens with the Hebrew word, arq.YIw: vayiqara, which means "and He called...." This is the title of the book in the Hebrew text. The Greek translators of the Septuagint devised the title Leviticus as it deals with institutions committed to the priests, who were of the tribe of Levi.
The Talmud, for similar reasons, calls it "the law of the priests."
The Church is the eklesia, the "called-out ones." This is a book for those who are called out-saved: Thus, it is a message for [Christians]."
