A symbol stands for an idea. The Statue of Liberty stands in Upper New York Bay, a universal symbol of freedom. Originally conceived as an emblem of the friendship between the people of France and the U.S. and a sign of their mutual desire for liberty, over the years the Statue has become much more.
The Hebrew word for Levite (lew) indicates a descendant of Levi, the son of Jacob and Leah ( Gen 29:34 ). There were three family clans within the tribe of LeviGershon, Kohath, and Meraribut it was only Kohath who supplied the Aaronic priests.
This surname LEYVA was derived from the Hebrew male given name of LEVI (joining) and was borne by a son of Jacob and Leah (Genesis 29:34) Bearers of this given name or surname are Levites, members of the tribe of Levi, who form a hereditary caste who assist the KOHANIM (the priest).
