Levihan
Levihan is the ship name for Levi and Hange from Attack on Titan. It is a portmanteau: built by joining a piece of one name to a piece of the other.
Engine version 1.0 · Breakdown computed from the live checker · Research Desk
Structure
The checker cannot resolve the ending of this name against Levi and Hange. That is the right answer rather than a failure: built by joining a piece of one name to a piece of the other.
Why this name is shaped the way it is
Levi survives whole and Hange gives three letters. When the first name is short and ends in a vowel, keeping it whole is usually the cleanest option.
What our own engine would have built
Handed Levi and Hange with no knowledge of the fandom, the blender proposes Levnge, Hanvi, Lenge, Hangvi, Levge, Havi. Levihan is not among them. That is the normal result, and it is the clearest illustration of why this site refuses to call any candidate the best one. A community picked Levihan for reasons no software can see.
Reading it out loud
The join sits at ih, and that is the part worth saying aloud before committing to a name. Levihan carries it without trouble, which is a large part of why it stuck: a ship name has to survive being said in a sentence, not only being typed into a tag. It matters more than it sounds. A blend that reads cleanly on a page and stumbles in speech tends to lose to a plainer alternative, however elegant it looked when it was written down.
If you are naming a pairing of your own
The useful lesson from Levihan is not the name itself but what it kept. A blend that works holds enough of both halves that a reader who knows Levi and Hange recognises them without being told, and stops there. Taking more from one side than the other is what produces a name that reads as one person rather than two.
If you want to run the same check on a name of your own, the draft checker does exactly what produced the breakdown above, and the ship name generator builds candidates from two names you supply. The method behind the scoring explains what the coverage figures mean and, more importantly, what they cannot tell you.

Questions
What is the ship name for Levi and Hange?
Levihan. It is the name the Attack on Titan fandom uses for Levi and Hange as a pairing, and it is what you will see on tags, fan work and video titles about the two of them together.
What does Levihan mean?
Levihan is the ship name for Levi and Hange from Attack on Titan. A ship name is a nickname for a pairing, and shipping means wanting two characters to be together.
Who is Levihan?
Levihan is not a person. It refers to Levi and Hange as a pairing, which is how fandom communities talk about two characters together in one word.
How was Levihan formed?
Not by blending the two names. Built by joining a piece of one name to a piece of the other. That is why a name checker cannot trace it back to Levi and Hange.
Is Levihan the only ship name for Levi and Hange?
No. Two names can be joined in several ways, and from Levi and Hange alone a blender produces Levnge, Hanvi, Lenge among others. Levihan is the one the community settled on, and that is a matter of use rather than of structure: a name becomes the name when enough people tag with it.
Where would I see Levihan written?
Mostly as a tag. Ship names exist because writing out Levi and Hange every time is tedious in a tag, a title or a search box, and one word does the same job. You will find it on fan work archives, in video titles, and in the search terms people use when they are looking for work about this pairing specifically rather than about Attack on Titan generally.
Does using Levihan mean it is canon?
No, and the two are unrelated. A ship name records that people are interested in Levi and Hange as a pairing. Whether Attack on Titan ever puts them together is a separate question, and some of the most used ship names belong to pairings that never happen in the story at all.
