Levar is a name of African origin, derived from the Yoruba word "Olorun" which means "owner of heaven". It gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, often used as an alternative to traditional names like Lawrence. The name Levar has a distinctive sound and is not commonly found elsewhere in the world, making it unique and recognizable.
"Levar was a popular name from 1977 to around 2004, with over 500 births annually during the late 1970s and early 1980s. However, its popularity declined sharply thereafter, dropping below 30 births per year after 1996. Since then, it has remained relatively uncommon, with fewer than 20 births per year in most recent years, reaching a low of just 5 births each in 2021 and 2022."
