About Deveraux

Swashbuckling name worthy of a hero in a romance novel. Deveraux or Devereaux is drawn from the town of Evreux in France and combined with the prefix de- denoting it likely referred to a noble of that area.

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, however 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.
