Devi is a unisex given name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'goddess'. It's often used as a standalone name but can also be found as part of compound names like Devika or Devesh. The name Devi is associated with the divine feminine principle in Hinduism and is considered sacred.
Over the span of nearly seven decades, from 1952 to 2023, the name Devi experienced significant fluctuations in popularity among newborns. The years with the highest number of births were 2022 and 2023, with 41 and 50 births respectively, marking a notable recent surge in the name's usage. However, it's clear that the name's popularity has ebbed and flowed over time, with periods of heightened popularity (such as the late 1960s to early 1970s, and again since around 2015) interspersed with years where it was chosen far less frequently. Overall, a total of 915 babies were named Devi over this period.
