Etymology
1. "Mediterranean lands east of Italy," 1497, from M.Fr.
levant "the Orient," from prp. of
lever "to rise" (from L.
levare "to raise;" see lever). The region so called in allusion to the direction of sunrise.
2. Transferral use of Levant, from French levant. Compare French faire voile en Levant (“to sail eastward”), literally: set the sail with the Levant, an easterly wind that blows in the Mediterranean Sea. Ultimately from Latin levō + -ant. See: Latin '
levō'.
