Etymology 1
From the biblical name en Levi. Unlike the biblical spelling, which descended through continuous liturgical traditions that preserved final secondary stress (causing it to shift to en /ˈliːvaɪ/), the surname was re-introduced into English after the 1650s via en fr Lévy and en de Levy. The pronunciation en /ˈlɛvi/ arose from assimilation to the common noun en levy, while en /ˈliːvi/ preserves the historical long vowel of the first syllable without final stress.

en January 12, 2017 Jesse Hassenger A literal monster truck is far from the stupidest thing about Monster Trucks w:The Onion AV Club http://www.avclub.com/review/literal-monster-truck-far-stupidest-thing-about-mo-248111 On some level, the filmmakers behind Monster Trucks must have recognized the ill fit of Till playing a teenager, because they cast Jane Levy, a 27-year-old who can pass for younger but not a decade younger, as Meredith, a nerdy classmate of Tripp’s who moons over him as she insists on making an appointment to tutor him in biology. Till is somewhere on the Hemsworth spectrum (more engaging than Liam; not as charismatic at Chris), but Levy is wholly charming as his enthusiastic sidekick. https://web.archive.org/web/20170127025219/http://www.avclub.com/review/literal-monster-truck-far-stupidest-thing-about-mo-248111
