Meaning: From Déville; From the settlement; Devil

Devell is a masculine name that could be a spin on the Old French last names Deville and Devall. While their name may have mysterious roots, we’re sure that won’t stop baby Devell from being their authentic and amazing self! Deville and Devall are most likely habitational names, so it seems possible that Devell is, too. Deville may have been used to describe someone “from Déville,” a town in France. The word ville means “settlement” in the French language, so Deville, Devell, and Devall could also mean “from the settlement.” When baby Devell grows older, they may discover their name’s possible connection to the Middle English word devel, which translates to “devil.” With their joyful energy and vibrant personality, little Devell will quickly shake this name meaning off!
