Meaning & origin
Dushawn is a modern invented name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1967. Its peak year of usage was 1975, after which its frequency declined. The name shows stable usage in recent years but remains very rare, never appearing in the top 1,000 names. Dushawn follows a pattern of blending the prefix Du- with the popular suffix -shawn, similar to contemporary coinages of the late 20th century. No top states were associated with the name, reflecting its scattered and infrequent use.
Dushawn first appeared in U.S. records in 1967, during a period when invented names combining fashionable sounds were common. The name may blend the prefix Du- (as in Duane) with the popular -shawn ending (from Shawn). Its use peaked in 1975, but it has never been among the top 1,000 names. The name remains rare and primarily appears in the United States.
