On June 2, 1873, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis received a patent for blue jeans with copper rivets, revolutionizing work clothing forever. Strauss was born to Jewish parents, which is reflected through his Hebrew name associated with Leah and Jacob’s third son in the Old Testament. Levi was also the name of Matthew in the New Testament before he became an apostle.
The name Levi held steady at Number 12 in the Top Boy Names in the US for 2024, used for more than 9500 baby boys.
