Chavon is English in Origin.

Chavon is a modern English given name, most commonly feminine, that likely developed as a phonetic respelling of Irish Siobhan (the Irish form of Joan/Jeanne, from Hebrew Yohanan, "God is gracious"). In some circles it is also treated as a blend or variant related to Yvonne (French from Germanic Ivo, "yew, archer"), which gives Chavon a secondary association with the yew tree and archery.

Usage rose in the United States and the UK in the late 1970s through the 1990s, especially within African-American communities that favored creative spellings and soft sh/v sounds. While never a top-ranking chart name, it appears in records alongside close spellings. Variants include Shavon, Shavonne, Shevon, Chavonne, Chevonne, and Siobhan; masculine-leaning forms such as Shevon/Shevan also occur. Related diminutives include Von/Vonne. The name’s appeal lies in its sleek sound and grace-filled meaning, making Chavon a contemporary twist on a long, multicultural naming line.
