Across the world, Lyova (Лёва , Lyova ) is a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently female first name. The first name Lyova is habitual in Armenia, where it is a rare masculine name, Kazakhstan, where it is a rare principally male, but very seldom female name, and Belgium, where it is a very rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Armenia. Much less frequently, Lyova is the last name as well as the forename.
Lyova is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Lev , the fictional character from the video game The Last of Us Part II; Prince Myshkin , the fictional character of Dostoevsky, The Idiot; Lev Abalkin and Fürst Leo Nikolajewitsch Myschkin , the operatic character in the opera Der Idiot (Weinberg), The Idiot.
