Devine is an Irish boy’s name of Irish and French origins. Deriving from the Irish surname Ó Dubháin, Devine means “descendant of Dubhán,” which in turn means “little black one.” Alternatively, it can also stem from Ó Damháin—descendant of Damhán—in which damh refers to the word “ox” or “stag” with a diminutive. Devine also has French roots, with the meaning “divine” or “fortune teller.” Although Devine is a relatively popular surname in Ireland, it can also be used as a lovely first name for baby. So, if you wish to honor your little one’s Celtic heritage with a charming non-traditional Irish name, Devine could be perfect for you!
