I moved the name "Devi" to the "Also known as" section. The cursive "b" sometimes looks like a "v" but it might very well be a "v".
She is certainly named after her paternal grandmother, "Daby" (see her father's Death Notice). Is it related to an Irish name, such as the names Dearbháil, Dearbhal, Dearbhla or Deirbhile?
As a witness to the christening of Gerhardus Jacobus Leonhard, she is Daby?/Davy? Maria Leonhard: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6RQ4-J9?i=225&wc=M...
It is Deby Maria on the "Aangenomen op Belydenis des Geloofs": https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK6-1WT3-5?i=1128...
On her father's Death Notice: Deblij (Deblÿ) Maria. Could the inserted "l" simply be a spelling mistake? https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQF-D9PK-7?i=1264...
On her mother's Death Notice she is only referred to as Maria.
Going down the family line, the name also appears as Debe Maria, Debya Maria, Debi Maria etc.
