Leverne Origin and Meaning

The name Leverne is a girl's name.

Leverne is a feminine name with French and Germanic origins, likely derived from elements meaning 'spring' or 'alder tree' combined with 'verne' meaning 'alder grove.' Popular primarily in the mid-20th century in the United States, Leverne has since become quite rare. The name gained some recognition through the character Laverne DeFazio from the television show 'Laverne & Shirley,' though this spelling variation with an 'e' instead of 'a' is less common. Leverne has a vintage quality that evokes mid-century America and carries associations with working-class strength and individuality. The name has a distinctive sound while remaining relatively easy to pronounce and spell.
