Devon

The name Devon has Celtic origins and the meaning of Devon is 'devnent', which means 'deep valley dwellers' and 'defender'. Historically it has been used by families descended from Celtic tribes. It can also be traced back to having Irish roots from the name 'Devin', which is Gaelic for “poet”. In the Bible, Devon is seen in 'Revelations 4:4' to mean 'judgement'. Though it was traditionally given as a surname, it started to become popular in England as a first name. It is thought that this was inspired by Devon County, which is situated in South West England. The name is highly popular in the United States and in the United Kingdom, with a particular surge in popularity in 2019. The name is associated with the well-known boxer Devon Alexander, who was a former world champion in two different weight classes.
