Lavena Origin and Meaning

The name Lavena is a girl's name.

Lavena is a feminine name with possible Latin origins, potentially derived from 'lavare' meaning 'to wash' or 'to cleanse,' suggesting purity. It may also be related to Lavinia, a name from Roman mythology, or represent a variant of Lavinia or Laverne. The name has never been widely popular but saw some limited use in the United States during the early 20th century. Lavena has a gentle, melodic quality with its flowing vowels and soft consonants, giving it an elegant, somewhat vintage feel. The name's uncommon nature makes it distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell. For parents seeking a feminine name with classical undertones that remains outside the mainstream, Lavena offers a graceful option with subtle connections to ancient traditions.
