Leviticus

The name Leviticus is derived from the Greek translation of the Hebrew word 'Levi,' which refers to the Levites, the tribe of priestly servants in ancient Israel.

In the Bible, the Book of Leviticus is the third book of the Torah and the Old Testament. It contains instructions for worship, rituals, and laws around ceremonial purity for the Levites and the Israelites.

As a name, Leviticus is quite rare and unusual. It likely originated among certain Christian groups who wished to give their sons biblical names with deep religious significance.

While the name may be considered quite formal or even antiquated by some today, it carries a sense of connection to ancient religious traditions and the priestly lineage of the Levites.
