Ladavion

Meaning & origin

Ladavion is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1998. It reached its highest recorded usage in 2007, though it has never cracked the top 1,000 names. The name's trajectory has remained stable over the years, with no sharp declines or revivals. Ladavion is part of a broader tradition of creative naming in African American communities, where prefixes like La- and De- are combined with traditional or newly formed roots. Because no top states are recorded, its use appears widely dispersed rather than concentrated regionally. Parents drawn to Ladavion often appreciate its distinctive sound and contemporary feel, linking it to other similar names like Davion and LaMarcus.

Ladavion is a modern invented name, part of a trend among African American families in the late 20th century to create distinctive names by combining a prefix such as La- or De- with an existing name like Davion. Davion itself is a variant of David, a Hebrew name meaning 'beloved.' The first recorded use of Ladavion in U.S. Social Security data was in 1998, during a period when uniquely styled names were gaining popularity.
