I think it's Leev-aye. There's a kid called Levi at my school and we all pronounce his name as "Leev-aye".

Mormon high school. It was "Leev-aye" consistently. And I heard the name a lot.

Le, as in the name Lee,
Vi, as in the word Vine, with the 'i' sounded as the 'i' in the word Alibi.

In Hebrew, I believe the name Levi is pronounced Lay-vee, but I've heard the anglicized name most commonly pronounced Lee-vaye. :)
