Meaning & origin
Devina is a name of ambiguous origin that entered U.S. records in 1961. Its popularity peaked in 2018, after which it has been on a declining trajectory. While it has never ranked in the top 1,000, its rarity (1 in 55,423 births in 2025) gives it a distinctive quality. The name may appeal to parents seeking a melodic ending similar to popular names like Alina or Selena, or those drawn to its possible Sanskrit connection to 'goddess'. Despite its uncertain etymology, Devina has maintained steady usage, particularly in the 2010s, without strong regional ties as it has no top states.
Devina is a relatively modern name in English-speaking countries, first recorded in the U.S. in 1961. It may be a feminine elaboration of the Irish surname Devine or an anglicized form of the Hindi Devina, from Sanskrit devī ('goddess'). Its rise in the 2010s likely reflects the popularity of similar-sounding names ending in '-ina'.
