History & Origin

Devann most plausibly grew out of Devon or Devan, the place-name-turned-given-name from the English county of Devon. Its double-n spelling reflects a common late-twentieth-century habit of individualizing a familiar name.

Devann was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1991, and it has stayed rare since. A girl named Devann then would be in her thirties today.

Did you know? Devann most likely traces back to Devon, the English county whose own name comes from the ancient Dumnonii people who once lived there.
