History & Origin
Beyounce is a respelling that echoes Beyonce, the name carried to fame by the American singer Beyonce Knowles around the turn of the millennium. The extra letters spell out the three-beat sound. Its appearance in United States records for a short window from about 2000 lines up with that rise in public attention, though records alone cannot confirm each family's inspiration. It was given to only a small number of girls.
It never became common, recorded for only a couple dozen girls a year during its brief window, so a girl named Beyounce then would be in her mid-twenties today. It reads as an of-the-moment respelling rather than a revival, and the spelling Beyonce itself stayed the more familiar form.
