History & Origin
Davone is a modern coined name in the Devon and Davon family. Devon is an English place name from the Dumnonii, a Celtic British tribe, and it became a given name in the twentieth century. African American families produced coinages like Davon, Davion, and Davone by reshaping the sound with a Da- opening. Davone keeps the smooth two-beat sound while giving it a distinct -one ending.
Davone stayed uncommon, with only a few dozen boys a year receiving it around a high point in the early 1990s. A boy named Davone then would be in his early thirties today. Its meaning traces through Devon to the county and the ancient tribe; it reads as a smooth, contemporary name of its era rather than a variant error.
