Possible origins of DaVonna . . .DaVonna is a name made up of various different "bits and pieces" - here's some suggestions. Click on the hyperlinks for details of any of these names.1) It could be a variation of Davina, influenced by African-American naming tradtions.2) It could be a combination of Yvonne with the popular African-American name prefix Da- - similar to Lavonne.3) It could be a variation of Devon, again influenced by African-American naming styles.

Could it be Divanain india and afghanistan, not sure which language, Divana means crazy, but in the sense of being madly in love. this word is used in iran, but it has lost it's connotation of love, it just means crazy.just a thought.

So, what do you think of my translation of Tamreen? Not too 'horsey' for you, I hope?
It's Dee-WAH-na by the way.
