Duke Blue Devils are named after a fighter squadron, I believe.
During World War I the Chasseurs Alpins, nicknamed “les Diables Bleus,” were well known French soldiers. They first gained attention when their unique training and alpine knowledge was counted upon to break the stalemate of trench warfare in their native region of the French Alps.

Before being called Duke* it was called Trinity and the teams were often called just "The Methodists". Before that it was Brown, then Union, and then Normal... of all monikers.
