I believe Zvi is deer and not connected to Zeev which is wolf. Zvi is Hebrew and parallels the Yiddish name Hirsh. So he has two unrelated names Aaron (brother of Moses) and Zvi and he is descended from male ancestors of the Levi tribe. There are three tribes ongoing today COHAIN, LEVI and everything else is YISRAEL (ISRAEL).
