Devonna is a female first name.
Recently, the name Devonna has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Devonna. That means that a girl named Devonna is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Devonna.
If your name is Devonna your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Devonna never ranked higher than position 1,711 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Devonna. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1969 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Devonna because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Devonna was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Devonna still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 7 times in the entire U.S. So, a Devonna from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Devonna in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 122 women and girls named Devonna, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 122 women and girls named Devonna live in no more than 7 different states, including for example California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Devonna. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Devonna lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Devonna and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Devonna relative to its female population is Illinois. And even there, only one in 291,104 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Devonna.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter D is quite common as an initial letter for girls' names. To be precise, 5.6% of all girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M.
With seven letters, the name Devonna has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 5.6% of all girls' names start with D, this initial letter occurs much more often than all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: of all the names that begin with a D, Dorothy is the most common.
If your name is Devonna and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Devonna, you can simply say:

Elephant
Violin
