| | | English translation:Devram Kanera | Explanation:
Based on your other recent question, would I be right in guessing that the person in question is an environmental activist? There is in fact one such person, Devram Kanera, who figures rather prominently if you look up that name in Google.
The name Dev is derived from Sanskrit deva meaning 'god' (cognate with English 'devine' and so on). In modern Indian languages the short a is not pronounced, hence Dev. Similarly Ram is from god Rama. In Bengali the letter v becomes b so the spelling Debram is possible, but based on my above (far-fetched?) assumption about the movement in Narmada Valley, I'm guessing that the person is not from a Bengali speaking region.
Kanera seems to be used widely in place names and surnames but I'm not sure the same can be said of Kanela:
