Just on the form I'd guess a romance descendant of a personal name cognate with or derived from Moesogothic Liufharjis or Liubawari (medial b was pronounced similarly to f or v), Gothic or Lombard could have supplied the original if Italian, Suebian, Vandal, Ostrogothic etc. if Spanish (the h and w are regularly syncopated in such names). The two names mean respectively beloved+army and beloved+defender (in such names the two elements have separate, not combined, significance). Versions of both names are recorded elsewhere e.g. Leuparius, Liupwar.

Since and have the same pronunciation in Spanish, Levario is most probably a variant of the surname Lebario which comes from a place so named in the Basque Country (see tinyurl.com/jujx8sb).

Although it's probably Basque then, that does not preclude Lebario being named for a Vandal or Visigothic migrant.
