Daivon
Meaning of Daivon
Daivon is a masculine given name primarily encountered in Anglo-American contexts, etymologically traceable to the Old English placename Devon—itself derived from the ancient Celtic tribal name Dumnonii—and phonologically influenced by the Hebrew David, meaning “beloved.” It has been recorded in the United States since the late 1980s, with annual birth occurrences oscillating between five and 41 and a highest rank of 711 in 1987; as of 2024, it holds position 916 with eight registered births. Its appeal lies in a distinctive orthographic variant that preserves semantic resonance with historical antecedents while offering phonetic precision via a two-syllable structure (/deɪˈvɒn/) with stress on the second syllable. Although Daivon has never breached the top 500, its longitudinal usage curve—marked by notable upticks in the early 1990s and again in 2021—attests to a sustained, moderately stable presence within contemporary naming practices.
