Meaning and history
Devon is a variant of Devin and may also have been partly influenced by the county of Devon in England, whose name comes from the Dumnonii, a Celtic tribe. In African-American use, it is usually stressed on the second syllable and may have been chosen in part because it sounds similar to names such as Trevon and Javon.
