[Facts] Is Shalev truly unisex?

The Shalev entry claims that it is unisex, but I can't find any actual proof of this from a quick online search, instead finding indications that it's a strictly masculine name. This confuses me, because the aforementioned entry is supposed to have been verified (it's not a Submitted name).

This page has some claim that the feminine form of this name is Shalva (which matches the Submitted Name entry by that name), but others contend the claim by counter-claiming that it's not used at all as a Hebrew name in Israel.

Who am I supposed to believe?

Is Shalev truly unisex? my answer

It's very possible for any gender to have it. So it is defiantly unisex, but maybe it's just more common for male people. Shalev can also be Sharlva. Any gender can use the name Sharlev or Sharlva, but that's my opinion.

"Sharlva"? "Sharlev"? Don't you mean "Shalva" and "Shalev", respectively?

There are definitely female bearers

But as the others said it is more commonly male. I would guess less than 5% were women on my linkedin search, which might warrant removing the unisex classification in the database.

A search for "Shalev" on Facebook (where we already have a sizeable part of all humanity as users) shows men and women with that name, I would roughly estimate 4 or 5 men for each woman.

The only Shalev I could find on Wikipedia was Shalev Menashe, and he is most definitely male.
