Meaning & origin
Dawanna is a rare American coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1955. It reached its highest usage in 1983, but never entered the top 1,000 names. The name's trajectory has been stable since the 1980s, with very few newborns receiving it in recent years. As a modern blend, it reflects mid-century naming trends in the United States.
Dawanna is a modern American name, likely created in the mid-20th century by blending popular name elements. The prefix 'Da-' (as in Darlene or Davina) may combine with names like Wanda or Anna, or it may be a variation of Deanna. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in the 1950s and saw its highest usage in the 1980s.
