Fawne is English in Origin.

Fawne is a modern English given name, a stylized spelling of Fawn, the word for a young deer. The noun entered English via Middle English from Old French faon "young animal," ultimately from Latin fetus "offspring." The final -e lends a distinctly feminine look and separates it from the common noun. As a symbol, it evokes woodland gentleness, innocence, and soft beauty.

As a given name, Fawne and its base form Fawn saw modest use in the United States and Canada during the 1960s-1980s, alongside other nature-inspired choices such as Dawn and Brooke, and it remains rare today. Variants and related forms include Fawn, Fawna and Fauna (influenced by the Roman goddess of the wild), and the French mythological term Faune ("faun"). Possible nicknames are Fae or Fawnie. The meaning centers on "young deer," with broader associations of grace, renewal, and natural innocence.
