Etymology

Either from levante (corresponding to Latin levāntem), the old present participle of levar, itself the Old Spanish form of llevar, from Latin levō, levāre, or from a Vulgar Latin *levantāre, derived from levāns, levānte-, present participle of levō. Compare Portuguese and Galician levantar, Asturian llevantar, Romansch alvantar, leventar.
