Davion is a modern American elaboration of the biblical name David, formed with the stylish -ion/-on ending common in late-20th-century African-American naming. It inherits David’s Hebrew meaning, “beloved,” from Dawid (ultimately from the root dod, “beloved/friend”). The name began appearing in U.S. birth records in the 1980s, rose onto the Social Security charts in the 1990s, and saw its strongest use in the 2000s; athletes such as NBA guard Davion Mitchell and NFL linebacker Davion Taylor have kept it visible.

Related forms and spelling variants include Davian, Davien, Davin, Davon, Daveon, Dayvion, Dayveon, and De’Veon; feminine extensions like Daviona/Davionna also occur. Short forms Dave or Davi are sometimes used. Internationally, Davion has little historical footprint beyond English-speaking contexts, but it fits neatly among contemporary -ion names and offers a modern twist on a time-honored classic meaning.
