Help[Opinions] Re: Opinions on name Lev?
in reply to a message by Bread Boy
In the United States this name is usually associated with Jewish ancestry. I believe the reason it is so common among Jews is that it was a Russian name that accidentally also had a Hebrew meaning.
Several of the men named Lev who were of Russian nationality who turn up easily in Google searches of the name, such as the famous psychologist Lev Vygotsky, were of Jewish extraction.
In any event, my first guess as an older American upon meeting or hearing of a man named Lev would be that he was Jewish.
