Help[Opinions] Re: That doesn`t seem right

The spellings and pronunciations of names that have been adopted into English from other languages don't always add up logically.
I've always heard it with the dev-ə-ROH pronunciation.

I have always heard this pronounced in English as Dev-e-ROH so that is what I automatically went to but I think that in French it would be more like Dev-e-R(L)EW. I'm studying French and I think that's right. Anyway, I don't think this is used as a name in France.
