Draft:Devane (surname)

  • Comment: Again, there is no indication that reliable sources prove the notability of the material, and much of the material is just not relevant to the topic of a surname. See also my previous edit summaries in the history. Drmies (talk) 14:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)



Devane (or Devne, Deone; Marathi: देवणे/देवने) is a Marathi surname found in Maharashtra, India[1] meaning divine or someone who is like a god/devata.[2][3][4] Marathi surnames usually have the suffix ‘kar’ or ' e' at the end of them which denote the place of origin or ancestral family traditions and occupations.[5] Therefore they might have been originally from Deoni village. Some historians also believe the origin to be of Devanagere city.[6] Deoni(देवणी) village is also famous for its Deoni Breed of cattles, developed from a strain descended from a mixture of Gir, Dangi and local cattle (Red Khandari).[7][8]
