Livingston is a surname with several different origins. The name itself originates in Scotland as a habitational name derived from Livingston in Lothian which was originally named in Middle English Levingston. This place was originally named after a man named Levin who appears in several 12th-century charters.^[1] Variations in spelling on official Scotland documents indicate phonetic spelling by non-native Scots speakers, such as Lewyngstoun 1264–1359. ^[2] In Ireland (and in some cases Scotland), the name was adopted by people bearing the Gaelic surnames Ó Duinnshléibhe and Mac Duinnshléibhe.^{[citation needed]} Livingston can also be an Americanized form of Lowenstein, a Jewish surname.
