Devadas is a masculine Indian given name meaning "servant of the gods" from Sanskrit deva ("god") and dāsa ("servant"). The name is also spelled as Devdas, particularly in Hindi contexts, and appears in Bengali as Debdas. It carries a devotional connotation, often given to boys in families that honor Hindu deities, reflecting a life of service to the divine.
The name is perhaps most famously known through the 1917 Bengali novella Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, which was adapted into numerous films across Indian languages, including the iconic 1955 Hindi film starring Dilip Kumar. This literary work made "Devdas" a household name, though actual bearers exist throughout South Asia. In Indian naming conventions, compound names with dāsa ("servant of") are common, such as Govindadasa or Ramadasa, all expressing humility before gods or saints.
