Dalvon is a modern American given name of uncertain etymology, likely created as a phonetic blend. It surfaced in the late twentieth century in the United States, with sporadic use and occasional concentration in African-American communities that embraced inventive -von/-vonn endings. The name does not appear in medieval or early modern European onomastics and functions primarily as a contemporary, stylistic choice rather than a traditional form.

Variants and near-variants include Dalvin, Delvon, Delvin, Dalvonn, and the related names Devon and Alvin. The initial Dal- may echo Dale or Dalton (from Old English dael, "valley"), while the -von ending mirrors the sound pattern of Devon or the -vin of Alvin (ultimately from Old English Aelfwine, "elf-friend"). As a blended coinage, Dalvon has no fixed historical meaning, though parents often read it as suggesting groundedness and camaraderie. Common short forms are Dal and Von.
