Devlin

Meaning of Devlin

Devlin, pronounced DEV-lin (/ˈdɛv.lɪn/), is a spirited pick with deep Gaelic roots, deriving from the Irish Ó Doibhilín (“descendant of Doibhilín”), traditionally interpreted as “fierce courage.” With its crisp D-opening and uplifting -lin ending, Devlin feels both grounded in rich Celtic history and fresh as a dew-lit morning. Its subtle climb in US baby name charts—hovering around rank 911 in 2024 with just 13 little Devlins—means it stays under the radar yet never feels overlooked, like a hidden gem ready to sparkle. Devlin carries an adventurous spark that suits boys destined to carve their own path, blending warmth, strength, and a touch of storytelling magic in every syllable.
