variant of Devin, and the name of an English county
Background Story
Devon is a variant of Devin, and may also be partly inspired by the county of Devon in England, which took its name from the Dumnonii, a Celtic tribe. As an African-American name it is typically stressed on the second syllable, and may have been chosen for its similar sound to names such as Trevon and Javon.
