Devan as a feminine name represents an interesting crossover from traditionally male usage. While more common as a boy's name with roots in Irish and Sanskrit origins, Devan has gained traction as a girl's name in recent decades. In Irish contexts, it derives from 'Devin' meaning 'poet' or as an anglicized form of 'Damháin,' while in Sanskrit it relates to 'divine' or 'heavenly.' As a feminine name, Devan offers a modern, slightly androgynous quality that appeals to parents seeking gender-neutral options. Its popularity for girls saw modest growth in the 1990s and early 2000s but remains relatively uncommon, giving it distinction without being completely unfamiliar. The name balances strength and softness in its sound and associations.
