Devon

Devon is a gender-neutral baby name of British, Irish, and French origin that's a variant of Devin and is jam-packed with history and breathtaking landscapes. Coming from the Old French devin, it can translate to "divine," making it an adorable choice to match your little one's angelic, celestial demeanor. It can also come from the Irish last names Ó Duibhín or Ó Daimhín. Stemming from the words dubh, meaning "black" or "dark," and damh, meaning "bard” or “poet," Devon can be a great way to celebrate baby's dark or creative side. If your little one has English roots in their family tree, this name derives from the English county Devon, a.k.a. Devonshire, and the British settlers known as the Dumnonii. This Celtic community lived in the heart of Devon, Cornwall, and surrounding areas for several generations. Each area is picturesque and unique, with sandy beaches, rolling hills, and gorgeous valleys. With a name like Devon, baby will never forget their roots.
