Kevion is a modern American coinage, first recorded in 1989. It appears to be a combination of the popular name Kevin (from Irish Caoimhín, meaning 'handsome birth') and the trendy suffix '-ion' (as in Kevion, Devion, etc.). The name emerged during a period of creative naming in African American communities, where such blends were common. It never gained widespread use but has maintained a steady presence.
