Meaning & origin
Kevaughn is a rare modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1990, during a period when creative name blending gained popularity. It saw its peak usage in 2000, but usage has been falling steadily since 2001. The name has never ranked among the top 1000 names in any year, and data for 2025 shows it remains extremely uncommon. Kevaughn has not been associated with any particular state or region. It represents a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name that feels familiar yet unique, formed from the recognizable roots of Kevin and Vaughn.
Kevaughn appears to be a modern coinage, blending the popular Irish name Kevin (from Caoimhín, meaning 'handsome birth') with the Welsh surname Vaughn (variant of Vaughan, meaning 'small'). The combination likely arose in the late 20th century in English-speaking countries as a unique or stylized name. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1990, consistent with the trend of creating distinctive names by merging familiar elements.
