Devine Family History
Devine Name Meaning
Irish: reduced Anglicized form of either of two Gaelic names,
Ó Duibhín ‘descendant of Duibhín’, a byname
meaning ‘little black one’, or Ó Daimhín ‘descendant of
Daimhín’, a byname meaning ‘fawn’, ‘little stag’. These are
attenuated versions of Ó Dubháin and Ó
Damháin, and are the phonetic origin of Anglicizations with an
internal v (as opposed to w, as in Dewan, or
monosyllabic forms with an o or u) (see
Doane).English and French: nickname, of literal or ironic
application, from Middle English, Old French devin,
divin ‘excellent’, ‘perfect’ (Latin divinus ‘divine’).
