Overview

edit

"Devitt" may be related to the Welsh surname "Davies" as both are Celtic surnames that are generally accepted to mean "son of David", as well as "Davies" potentially stemming from the name of the Irish Déisi dynasty who settled in Wales and western England during the Early Middle Ages, though no theory has been definitively proven for either name.
