Meaning & origin

Laquon is a modern American coinage that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security records in 1980. It reached its peak popularity in 1991, after which its usage stabilized. As of 2025, the name has not appeared among the top 1,000 names, with an estimated frequency of fewer than 5 per million births in recent years. The name no longer appears in top state rankings, indicating a wide but thin distribution. It is most commonly associated with African American communities and follows a naming pattern that was especially fashionable in the late 20th century.

Laquon is a modern invented name, first recorded in the United States in 1980. It follows the pattern of names beginning with 'La-' (often given to girls) and ending with '-on' (common in boys' names), with no clear etymological root in any language. Its usage peaked in 1991 and has remained relatively stable since, mostly in African American communities.
