Daquarius
Pronounced duh-KWAIR-ee-us /dəˈkwɛər.i.əs/Medium
Meaning: Daquarius is a late-twentieth-century African American invented name pairing the very productive Da- opening (as in Daquan, Davion, Damarcus) with a -quarius ending that echoes the zodiac word Aquarius, 'water-bearer.' Its appeal is rhythm and grandeur of sound, not a single inherited root.Low

History & Origin
Daquarius is a coined American boys' name that appears in United States records from the early 1990s. It joins the popular Da- prefix with a flourish borrowed from Aquarius, in the inventive style of many African American names of its era.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around its turn-of-the-millennium high and staying rare after. A boy named Daquarius then is in his twenties now, part of a generation fond of striking, self-made names.
