Daevion
Meaning of Daevion
Daevion is a distinctive masculine name, pronounced day-vee-on, that first emerged in U.S. birth records in the late 1990s and has since maintained a steady, if modest, presence—hovering between ranks 786 and 930 with fewer than fifty annual occurrences. Though its exact etymology remains open to interpretation, many experts regard it as a creative fusion of the Celtic Devin (“divine” or “poet”) and the Latinate suffix –ion (“action” or “condition”), lending the name an adventurous yet refined air. A subtle Persian flourish enters through its opening syllable “Dae,” which calls to mind the Daevas of Zoroastrian lore—here reinvented not as malevolent spirits but as symbols of inner strength and complexity. The three-syllable cadence flows like a desert breeze across the reliefs of Persepolis, while its understated popularity delivers a dry wink: it sounds grand, yet remains rare enough to stand out. After peaking near rank 847 in 2005, Daevion has settled into the low 900s, affirming its appeal for parents who seek a name that bridges mythic resonance and modern originality.
