Devereaux is familiar to many English speakers as a surname but not as a first. It's a habitational name related to the town of Evreux in France, with the prefix de- denoting it likely referred to a noble of that area.
 
Louis d'Évreux, brother to King Philp IV, seems to be an early bearer of the name when he was given countship to the town in 1307. The name Evreux itself is likely adapted from the Gallic tribe the Eburovices who inhabited the area, and whose name means "yew tree" in Gaulish. 
 
Some sources alternatively suggest that the name could mean "riverbank", perhaps from the French des eaux meaning "of the waters" or because Evreux is located on the Iton river.
 
Mick Jagger has a son with this name in a different spelling, Deveraux.
