Dashaun
Meaning of Dashaun
The name Dashaun, rendered phonetically as /dəˈʃɔn/, originated in the United States during the latter decades of the twentieth century as a creative adaptation of the Gaelic name Sean—via the English form Shawn—prefixed with the morpheme Da-; this morphological construction not only aligns Dashaun with an established Anglo-American onomastic lineage but also conveys a deliberate assertion of modern individuality. Longitudinal data from the Social Security Administration trace its emergence to 1971, when six newborns bore the name (rank 664), and document incremental fluctuations in usage—peaking at 138 occurrences (rank 751) in 2007—before stabilizing at twenty-one instances (rank 903) in 2024. In its etymological structure and sociocultural resonance, Dashaun thus epitomizes the intersection of inherited tradition and innovative self-expression characteristic of contemporary American naming practices.
