In Roman mythology, Levana ("lifter") was the goddess of newborn babies. Her name comes from the practice of the father lifting the child off the ground where it was placed by the child's mother.
Thomas de Quincey's prose poem Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow begins with a discussion of the role of Levana in Roman religion.
