Derion
Meaning of Derion
Derion, pronounced /dəˈri.ən/ (duh-REE-on), is a modern unisex name most often encountered in the United States. Its structure—three syllables with primary stress on the second—suggests an Anglo-American coinage influenced by Greek-derived names such as Dorian or Dion, combining the prefix de- with the suffix -rion to create a distinctive yet familiar phonetic profile. Though it lacks a singular historical origin, Derion aligns with late-20th-century naming trends that favor inventive formations and gender-neutral flexibility. According to U.S. Social Security Administration data, Derion first registered among the top 1,000 names in the late 1980s, reached a high of 103 occurrences (rank 812) in 2008, and has since settled into modest annual tallies—10 births in 2024, ranking 914th—illustrating its niche appeal. Its relatively steady, low-frequency usage underscores an association with individuality and modern sensibilities rather than broad popularity.
