ArchivesDeva
I am interested in the female name Deva. That is the name of my boyfriend`s mother and the name is very rare here in Slovenia, where she was born. Her ethnic background is slovenian, she doesn`t know what does her name mean but she would like to. I asked her mother and father and they don`t know either.
On this site I found Devi, which means godess in Sanskrit, but it is not quite the same name. There is also a town in Romania called Deva and the name is supposed to come from dacian word Dava-fortress.
Also, my father told me, that he knew an old woman (very old) from Bosnia, whose name was Deva and he thinks it comes from the serbian word deva meaning young girl.
I am confused which meaning is right? Do you know something more about this name?
Thanks,
Nana
