I believe the answer is:

levi

(Other definitions for levi that I've seen before include "Primo --, Italian writer and chemist" , "Priest of the ancient Jewish Church" , "Jacob's third son" , "Hebrew patriarch - Italian writer" , "The Strauss who first patented blue jeans" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
