As they take their place in the heart of your family, baby Liev’s name will give them the courage to soar and maybe even roar! This masculine moniker is believed to be an alternative spelling of Lev, a name with Yiddish and Russian origins. Meaning “heart” in Yiddish and “lion” in Russian, Liev carries reminders of your little one’s lion-hearted spirit in every letter. When baby Liev starts to look to the big screen for inspiration, you can introduce them to the work of Liev Schreiber, an American actor who first put the name Liev in lights!
