"to twist"
The name Leviathan is commonly a male name from the "Hebrew" origin that means "to twist".
Leviathan comes from a Hebrew noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible, where it names a large sea creature, most fully described in the book of Job. Lexicographers derive the Hebrew word livyatan from a root meaning "to twist" or "to coil." In the biblical text it functions as the name of a creature rather than as a personal name, and its use as a given name is a separate, later development.
