Devaun Origin and Meaning

The name Devaun is a boy's name.

Devaun appears to be a modern coined name that may have multiple origins. It could be a variant of Devon or Devin, which derive from the English county name, combined with a modified suffix. Alternatively, it might combine the prefix 'De-' (from Romance languages meaning 'of' or 'from') with 'vaun,' which could relate to the Welsh 'fawn' meaning 'pleased' or be a variant spelling of 'von.' The name emerged in usage primarily in the late 20th century in the United States. While not among the most common names, Devaun has maintained a consistent presence in naming records since the 1980s, primarily for boys. The name's distinctive spelling gives it a contemporary feel while potentially maintaining connections to traditional name elements.
