Deven Origin and Meaning

The name Deven is a girl's name.

Deven as a feminine name represents an interesting gender crossover, as it's more commonly recognized as a masculine name in most cultures. With Sanskrit origins, Deven derives from 'deva' meaning 'divine' or 'god-like.' It has also developed as an alternative spelling of Devon, connecting it to the beautiful English county. For girls, Deven offers a contemporary, slightly androgynous option with a melodic sound. The name gained modest popularity for girls in America during the 1980s and 1990s, reflecting the trend toward traditionally male names for females. Its dual cultural origins provide versatility, while its uncommon usage for girls makes it distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or understand.
