Devana (also Dziewanna) is the Slavic goddess of the hunt, forests, and wild animals — the Slavic counterpart to the Greek Artemis. Her name derives from Proto-Indo-European root for "shining" or "divine."
Rare but iconic in Slavic studies.
Devana does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Devana reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
