Devereux Origin and Meaning
The name Devereux is a girl's name meaning "from Evreux; riverbank".
A variation of Deveraux, a habitational name related to the town of Evreux in France. The name Evreux itself is likely adapted from the Gallic tribe the Eburovices and whose name means "yew tree", however, some sources alternatively suggest that Devereux could mean "riverbank", perhaps from the French des eaux meaning "of the waters" or because Evreux is located on the Iton river.
Poppy Montgomery used this spelling as one of the middles for her daughter Violet.
