About Devon
Devon, spelled like the lovely seaside county in Britain that inspired the name, has crashed since its heyday around the Top 100 in the 1990s. Despite its use as a female name, for example for Devon on the TV show The 4400, Devon continues to be far more popular for boys than for girls.
Pronounced DEV-un.
As of October 2026, Devon ranked #1028 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #117 in 1994.
Editor's take: The name Devon is a boy's name of English origin.
