Meaning & origin
Jondavid is a rare American compound name, first recorded in 1966 and seeing its peak usage in 1985 with 5 births. The name combines two classic Hebrew-derived names, Jon and David, creating a distinctive double-barreled first name that reflects a mid-century trend toward portmanteau names. It has never entered the top 1000 rankings and has remained stable in usage, with fewer than 5 births per year in most decades. The name is most commonly found in the United States and has not been concentrated in any particular state.
Jondavid is a modern compound name formed by blending Jon (a variant of John, from Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious') and David (from Hebrew Dawid, meaning 'beloved'). This type of portmanteau name became more common in the United States during the mid-20th century, often intended to honor multiple family members or to create a distinctive double-barreled first name. It has never been among the top 1000 names in the Social Security Administration data.
