Gaelic Origin · Root meaning ‘little ox’
Devine comes from Ó Daimhín, a diminutive of damh, ‘ox’ — a name valuing strength and steadiness in the same spirit as Madden and Concannon reach for the hound. The family were established across Tyrone and Donegal.
Not every Gaelic name reaches for a hound or a warrior — this one reached for the animal that actually did the heavy work.
Irish form: Ó Daimhín
