Leviathan
Meaning of Leviathan
The name Leviathan, pronounced leh-VY-uh-thuhn (/ləˈvaɪ.əθən/), is a unique and powerful choice for a baby boy. Originating from Hebrew mythology, Leviathan is often depicted as a massive sea creature or serpent symbolizing chaos and strength. The name carries connotations of grandeur and might, making it an intriguing option for parents seeking something distinctive yet meaningful. Despite its mythological roots, the name has seen modest use in modern times, with occasional occurrences in the United States over recent decades. For those who appreciate its boldness but prefer a more conventional variation, "Levi" offers a simpler alternative while retaining some of the original's mystique.
