Davon is African American, English in Origin.
Davon is a modern American given name, formed as a variant of Devon/Devin and influenced by David. The Dav- root links to Hebrew David (Dawid), meaning “beloved.” If understood via Devon, it carries an English toponymic sense referencing the county of Devon, ultimately from the ancient British tribe Dumnonii. Because of multiple sources, meanings given include “beloved” and “from Devon.”
In use since the late 20th century, Davon saw wider circulation in the United States from the 1980s onward, notably within African-American naming traditions and popular culture. Spelling variants and related forms include Da’Von, DeVon, Dayvon, Davin, Davan, and Devon; elaborations such as Davion and Devonte are adjacent. Short forms Dave and Von appear. The name is typically pronounced DAY-von or də-VAHN. Usability is unisex but primarily masculine in modern records.
