In the article about Levi, it says his name is Ackermann but this is just a translation error that occured while Shingeki No Kyojin was being translated to English from Japanese. Levi's name is actually Rivalle. Furthermore, Ackermann is not that common of a name and Hajime Isiyama wanted the characters to be diverse then come together to defeat the titans. Now since Mikasa is almost as strong as Levi and the strongest female in both the manga and the anime, it is likely that Levi and Mikasa are distantly related but this has yet to be revealed.
