Devam (देवम) is a modern name built on deva, one of the oldest Sanskrit words. Monier-Williams gives deva as heavenly and divine, a word also used of earthly things of great excellence, and as a noun, a god. The -am ending is the form deva takes in Sanskrit when it is the object of a sentence. Indian name lists give Devam as "divine" or "godlike". It is a longer relative of Dev, and it is used in Gujarat and North India.
