le.va.non is the proper name of a region named as a borderland, hill country, and source of cedar trees.

The term is consistently a proper place-name: it marks a region in territorial descriptions and is also named for its mountains, forests, cedars, animals, and other natural features. Poetic and figurative passages retain that geographic reference while drawing on its trees, fragrance, or splendor.
