Devota First Name Meaning

Devota is a female name of Spanish origin, meaning "Devoted Woman." The name is associated with Saint Devota, the patron saint of Corsica and Monaco, who lived during the Roman persecution under Emperors Diocletian and Maximian. Born in northeastern Corsica, Devota was a devout Christian who faced imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom for her faith. Her relics are venerated for their reported miracles and protective powers. The Sainte-Dévote Chapel in Monaco and the celebration of her feast day on January 27th are integral to the cultural and religious traditions of Monaco. Additionally, her cult has spread to Corsica, where she is recognized as a principal patron saint. Devota's legacy is commemorated through various cultural and religious practices, including coins, stamps, and a collector's coin minted in 2004.
