The origin of the family name has for long been a matter of debate, but it now seems conclusively established that Devas is an english name with roots in Yorkshire, and is a variant spelling of Devis, Devers, Davies and a number of similar names, all spelt in the 17th century and earlier phonetically, interchangably and without consistency, even within legal documents.
