Meaning & origin
Daquon first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1987, reflecting the late 20th-century trend of inventive name creation in African American communities. It reached its peak popularity in 1996, when it was given to 126 baby boys, though it has never entered the top 1000 rankings. The trajectory of its use has been stable since the 1990s, with no revival in later decades. Daquon is almost exclusively used for boys, and its top states of use include no single region predominantly.
Daquon is a modern invented name, part of a trend in late 20th-century African American naming that blends prefixes like Da- with fashionable suffixes like -quon (possibly influenced by names like D'Andre or Marquon). The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1987 and peaked in popularity in 1996, but its exact derivation is undocumented.
