Devonna is English, Irish in Origin.
Devonna is a modern English feminine given name, most often an elaboration of Devon with the suffix -a/-na. As a place-derived personal name, Devon points to the southwestern English county; its ethnonymic root is Old English for "the Devonians," ultimately referring to the Brittonic Dumnonii people. In this stream, Devonna effectively means "from Devon" or "Devonian," a locational identity recast as a given name.
Some sources also connect Devonna to Devona/Divona, the name of a Gaulish sacred spring and goddess celebrated at ancient Burdigala (Bordeaux), from Proto-Celtic *deiwos "god, divine," yielding the sense "divine (spring)." Usage is rare but documented in the United States from the late 20th century alongside unisex Devon. Variants and related forms include Devona, Devonne, DeVonna, Devon, and Devyn/Devynn; and Divona preserves the classical form.
