What is the meaning of the name Devaunne ?

Devaunne is English in Origin.

Devaunne is a modern American given name, likely formed by blending or respelling elements of Devon/Devonne and Vaughn. Devon derives from the English county name, ultimately from the Celtic Dumnonii, sometimes glossed as 'deep valley/world' people, while Vaughn comes from Welsh fychan, 'small' or 'junior.' As a result, Devaunne is interpreted either as a creative Devon-variant or as a 'little/younger' name via the Vaughn line; both readings circulate in contemporary usage.

Documented since the late 20th century, the name appears mainly in the United States and is rare, with a unisex profile but a stronger masculine tilt. Common spellings and cognates include Devaun, De'Vaun, DeVaun, Devaughn/DeVaughn, Devonne/Devon, and De'Vonn. Nicknames Dev and Von are frequent. The doubled -nne ending in Devaunne reflects stylistic emphasis rather than separate etymology, fitting broader patterns of inventive, culturally expressive naming.
