History & Origin
Duron is a modern coinage rather than an inherited name, joining the Du- opening to a -ron ending like Deron and Tyrone. It doubles as a surname in some families. Its appeal is its clean, strong sound; no single dictionary meaning applies.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around its early-1990s peak and reaching into recent years. A Duron from that time is in his thirties now; it reads as a late-century coinage rather than a vintage name.
