The name Devaughntee is of African American origin and is a unique blend of two popular names in the African American community: DeVante and Unique. The name DeVante is derived from the Latin name Vincent, which means "conquering" or "victorious". It has been a popular name among African Americans since the mid-20th century and was made even more famous by R&B singer Devante Swing of Jodeci fame in the 1990s. The name Unique is self-explanatory, meaning one of a kind or unlike anything else. When combined together, Devaughntee can be interpreted to mean "victorious uniqueness". The name has gained popularity in recent years and is often given to boys, although it is sometimes used for girls as well. It is a distinctive name that reflects the individuality and strength of its bearer.
In the United States, the name Devaughnte was given to five babies born in both 1992 and 1994. This means that over those two years combined, a total of ten babies were named Devaughnte.
