History & Origin
Devinn is a modern American respelling of Devin, with a doubled final n. Devin is generally derived from an Irish surname linked to the word for a 'poet,' and it shares ground with Devon, the county in southwest England. Devin and Devon were fashionable for boys in the late 1980s and 1990s, and spellings multiplied; Devinn is one of them. It appears in United States records from the late 1980s and reached its faint high in the early 1990s.
It was never common in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen boys a year even at its peak, so a Devinn from that high would be in his thirties today. It reads as an of-its-era spelling rather than a name apart, and the standard Devin remains the usual form.
