Matthew McConaughey took time away from his newborn baby Levi Alves McConaughey to explain to OK! Magazine how he and Camila Alves came up with the baby’s first name.  It is rather easy to figure out the origin of Levi’s middle name.

Explaining how they came up with the name for their baby boy, Matthew tells OK!, “Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person.

“Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: ‘If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.’”

Baby Levi’s middle name is taken directly from his mother Camila’s last name. “We wanted to incorporate her family name,” explains the proud new father.

Where does Matthew’s sudden Christianity come from?  It is hard to say but in April of 2007 he was spotted on his stationary bike reading Lee Strobel’s The Case for Christ.

Another interesting tidbit is that Levi’s initials are L.A.M.  and in the New Testament one of the titles given to Jesus Christ was ‘Lamb of God.’
