Devina

Meaning of Devina

Devina, pronounced deh-VEE-nuh (/dəˈviːnə/), derives from the Latin adjective divinus, meaning “divine,” and evokes a heritage bathed in an aura of celestial grace. Its morphological root “dev-” aligns with Indo-European terms denoting divinity and transcendence and often evokes associations of poise and spiritual depth, while the feminine suffix “-ina” tempers this elevated lineage with a subtly affectionate nuance. Examination of U.S. Social Security data demonstrates Devina’s modest yet enduring presence since the early 1960s, with annual rankings oscillating between the mid-700s and low-900s and 31 recorded births (rank 919) in 2024. Such statistical steadiness highlights the name’s niche appeal—a designation that melds scholarly pedigree with soft, understated elegance.
