Devon is associated with the meaning “Defender, or from Devon, England” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Devon carries the wild spirit of the English countryside in its roots. The name comes directly from Devonshire, the county in southwest England, where dramatic coastlines meet rolling moorlands. The county's own name traces back to the Dumnonii, an ancient Celtic tribe who inhabited the region during the Iron Age and Roman Britain. Their tribal name likely meant "deep valley dwellers," a fitting description for those who made their home among the region's dramatic landscapes.
