Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Daven family history? The Irish name Daven was originally written in a Gaelic form as O Daimhin, derived from the word "damh," which refers to "an ox" or "a stag."The recording of names in Ireland during the Middle Ages was an inconsistent endeavor at best. Since the general population did not know how to read or write, they could only specify how their names should be recorded orally. Research into the name Daven revealed spelling variations, including Devine, O'Devine, Davin, Devane, Dwane, Duane, Dwain, Dwayne, Dwayn, Devan, Davine, Devyne and many more. First found in County Londonderry, where they held a family seat from very ancient times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Daven research. Another 332 words(24 lines of text) covering the years 1066, 1427, and 1713 are included under the topic Early Daven History in all our PDF Extended History products.

A great mass of Ireland's native population left the island in the 19th century, seeking relief from various forms of social, religious, and economic discrimination. This Irish exodus was primarily to North America. If the migrants survived the long ocean journey, many unfortunately would find more discrimination in the colonies of British North America and the fledgling United States of America. These newly arrived Irish were, however, wanted as a cheap source of labor for the many large agricultural and industrial projects that were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest nations in the western world. Early immigration and passenger lists indicate many people bearing the Daven name: Mary Devine who settled in Virginia in 1653; Felix Devine who settled in Baltimore Maryland in 1804; Bryan Devine settled in New York in 1803; John Davins settled in Virginia in 1636.
