Devanee is a divine choice for your little darling! While not much is known about this specific Americanised version, Devanee could have a few possible origins. One of these is in the Hindu religion, where it could derive from Deva, meaning “divine.” This is echoed in its Old French and Latin connections with the word devin. Alternatively, it could be a respelling of the Irish surname Devin, meaning “little dark one” or “fawn,” which comes from Dubhán or Dumhán.
