From Wikipedia: Devanāgarī is a compound of deva <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deva_(Hinduism)> (देव) and nāgarī <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81gar%C4%AB_script> (नागरी). Deva means "heavenly", "divine", or "deity".[20] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari#cite_note-monier-21> Nāgarī comes from नगरम् nagaram, a Sanskrit word meaning "town". Hence, devanāgarī can be translated as “from the abode of divinity"
