The ''dDev '' [[rune]] (ᛞ) is called '''dæg''' "day" in the [[Old English language|Anglo-Saxon]] [[rune poem]]. The corresponding letter of the [[Gothic alphabet]] 𐌳 ''d'' is called ''dags''. This rune is also part of the [[Elder Futhark]], with a reconstructed [[Proto-Germanic]] name '''*dagaz'''.
 
Its "butterfly" shape is possibly derived from [[Lepontic alphabet|Lepontic]] ''[[San (letter)|san]]''.<ref>David Stifter, "Lepontische Studien: ''Lexicon Leponticum'' und die Funktion von ''san'' im Lepontischen", in: ''Akten des 5.
