[name_f]My[/name_f] instinctual pronunciation would be leh-VAWN. Though Lee-vun or rhyming with [name_u]Devon[/name_u] wouldnt surprise me

leh-VAWN

leh-VAWN or like “Le” (French prn.) + Vawn

I instantly thought LEE-von. I tried [name_m]Levon[/name_m] rhyming with [name_u]Devon[/name_u], but it didn’t work for me. I could see LEH-von working though.

One of the big debates!

I would say Le-VONN and then guess LEEV-on - but I’ve heard LEV-in, LEE-von, LE-vawn and I think Levon Helm had his own way of pronouncing it.

13

The only [name_m]Levon[/name_m] I know says it LEE-von!

14

I think I’m influenced by [name_m]Lebron[/name_m] but I’d say it in two syllables. Leh- Vohn

15

I’m not familiar with this name. I can think of two pronunciations which you might encounter. LEV-uhn (like Devon) and luh-VON (like LeBron James)

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was luh-VON (luh like lunch).

But I wouldn’t be surprised if it rhymed with [name_u]Devon[/name_u].

I’m in the UK.

LEE-von was my first thought. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it was LEV-inn. I’m in the western US.

18

LEE-von, because of the [name_u]Elton[/name_u] [name_u]John[/name_u] song.
