Devoe is a distinctive, uncommon given name of American origin. It's derived from an English surname that was originally used as a nickname for someone who lived near a dairy farm or had some association with dairy products. The name is believed to have evolved from the Middle English word 'divi', which referred to curdled milk. Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the name have varied, but it remains a unique choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child.
"Devoe was quite popular as a baby name from 1913 to 1925, with a total of 47 babies named Devoe during that period. There was then a significant gap until 1951 when another Devoe was born, followed by one more in 1990."
