Meaning & origin
Davion first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1970 and saw a rise in popularity through the 2000s, peaking at rank 359 in 2008. Since then, its use has been steadily falling, and in 2025 it ranked 1352nd, with an estimated 1 in 12,288 boys given the name. The name was most popular in Maryland, Louisiana, and Wisconsin. As a modern coinage, Davion reflects the inventive naming style that emerged in the late 20th century, combining a familiar initial sound with a trendy suffix. Its trajectory exemplifies the rise and gradual decline of a fashionable given name.
Davion first appeared in the United States in the 1970s. It is likely a modern creation, perhaps formed from the popular name David combined with the fashionable -ion suffix seen in names like Damion and Evion. Alternatively, it could be a respelling of the surname Davion, though its use as a given name is a distinctly American phenomenon.
