Devonna is a unique and elegant female given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Domitius'. It means "of the house of Domitius," suggesting a connection to ancient Roman nobility. The name Devonna gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century and has since maintained a steady presence, often favored for its distinctive sound and spelling. It offers parents the opportunity to give their daughter a rare yet beautiful name with a rich historical background.
"The name Devonna experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, peaking in the late 1960s with consistently high numbers from 1963 to 1968, reaching a maximum of 45 births in 1969. After a period of decline, it began to rise again around the mid-1980s, notably with 38 births in 1987 and 40 births each in 1989 and 1991. However, from the late 1990s onwards, its popularity significantly waned, with fewer than 20 births per year recorded between 1996 and 2022, except for a brief spike in 2012 with 20 births."
