Meaning & origin
Devonna is a rare feminine name first recorded in 1929, historically given as a feminine elaboration of Devon. Use peaked in 1993, when it was most common, but has since declined steadily. As of 2025, the name ranks 14,942 in popularity, with an incidence of about 1 in 321,453 newborns. Though never widely used, Devonna followed the trajectory of similar place inspired names, rising during the 1970s and 1980s and falling after the 1990s.
Devonna is a feminine elaboration of the English place name Devon, which derives from the name of the ancient Celtic tribe the Dumnonii. The tribal name may mean 'deep valley dwellers'. The name Devon was first used as a given name in the mid-20th century, and Devonna emerged as a variant spelling, particularly in the United States, during the 1920s.
