History & Origin

Devarius is a coined name rather than an inherited one. It joins the fashionable De- prefix with a Latinate -arius ending, part of a broad pattern of invented African American boys' names in the 1980s and 1990s. Its appeal is its sound and rhythm, not an old root word.

Devarius stayed rare throughout, reaching a small high around 1991 and never spreading widely. A boy named Devarius then is a young adult now, and the name reads as a bold, of-its-era coinage rather than a revival of anything older.

Did you know? The stately -arius ending, borrowed from Latin, gave a whole set of late-century names, from Devarius and Demarius to Tavarius, an air of grandeur.
