History & Origin
Trashawn is a coined American name that fits a Tra- prefix onto Shawn, the English spelling of the Irish Sean and thus a form of John, 'God is gracious'. The blend keeps that ancient meaning while giving it a fresh, rhythmic front.
Trashawn never became common in United States records. It appeared in the late nineteen-eighties, reached a modest high of a couple dozen boys a year around 1996, and stayed uncommon afterward. A boy named Trashawn then is in his late twenties now.
