Levester is a distinctive male name of American origin, possibly coined by author William Faulkner for his 1936 novel "Absalom, Absalom!". Its meaning is uncertain but may derive from "left" and "-ster", potentially signifying association with the left side or being left-handed. Despite its rarity and uncertain origins, Levester has been used as a given name in some parts of the U.S., with no significant historical associations.
