Meaning of Donavyn

The name Donavyn is a unique and modern variation of the more traditional name Donovan. Pronounced as doh-NA-vin (/doʊˈneɪvɪn/), it is predominantly used for males. The name Donovan has Irish origins, derived from the Gaelic "Ó Donndubháin," which means "descendant of Donndubhán."
