Daishawn is a modern American given name formed by attaching the stylistic prefix Dai- to Shawn. Shawn is the anglicized form of Irish Sean, itself from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." The Dai- element functions chiefly as a phonetic and ornamental prefix in African American naming traditions; while it resembles Welsh Dai (a nickname for David) and Japanese dai ("great"), these are coincidental in typical U.S. usage.

Use of Daishawn arose in the late 20th century alongside related blends such as DeShawn and DaShawn, with pockets of popularity in the 1990s-2000s. Common variants include Dashawn, Da'Shawn, Dashaun, Deshawn, DeShawn, Daeshawn, Daishon, and Dayshawn; feminine forms like Dashawna, Deshawna, or Daishawna also appear. Nicknames include Dai, Shawn, and Dash. Meaning is most often taken from the Shawn component - "God is gracious" - though families may interpret the Dai- as adding emphasis or distinction.
