Dejon
Meaning of Dejon
Dejon is a masculine given name of modern American origin, formed by adding the prefix “De-” to the traditional Hebrew name John, which means “God is gracious.” It first appears in U.S. birth records in the mid-1960s—seven boys were named Dejon in 1966—gained momentum through the 1980s, and peaked in the early 1990s at a rank in the mid-600s, before settling into a steady placement in the 800–900 range in recent years. Pronounced dee-JAHN (/diˈdʒɑn/), Dejon balances classic resonance with a contemporary twist, offering parents familiarity without blending into the crowd. It occupies a comfortable middle ground between total anonymity and widespread ubiquity, suggesting an analytical nod to tradition while embracing a modern penchant for distinctive name forms.
