Davan

Meaning of Davan

Davan is a unisex appellation linguistically rooted in the English toponym Devon—a derivative of the Brittonic tribal name Dumnonii—augmented by the diminutive suffix -an to form a designation that combines historical and morphological elements with modern naming conventions. Pronounced /deɪˈvən/ in English, it has maintained a modest yet consistent presence in the United States: Social Security Administration records from 2000 through 2007 indicate annual registrations ranging from seven to eighteen newborns, peaking at eighteen occurrences (rank 925) in 2004 and concluding the period with five occurrences (rank 983) in 2007. These data underscore Davan’s status as a technically sound, gender-neutral option within Anglo-American naming practices, providing parents with a choice that embodies both geographic heritage and quantifiable stability.
