Delevan is a masculine name that could inspire baby to express gratitude for the places and faces that mean the most to them. From the home where they live to the community they’re part of, little Delevan will discover many things that uplift them, encourage them, and make them feel connected. While Delevan’s exact roots are a little unclear, it could be a variant of the French last name Delavant, which ultimately derives from Delavaud. All three of these titles are linked to the translation “from Lavaud,” referring to several French towns and communes. Even if your little one doesn’t call France home, their name will remind them of the place where they feel safest. Delevan could also be a respelling of the Irish last names Delvin or Devlin, which mean “descendant of Dobhailéan,” “unlucky,” or “unfortunate.” With so many people in their corner, little Delevan will always feel like favor is on their side!
