History & Origin

Fuquan belongs to a wave of coined American names assembled from a fresh opening and a shared, rhythmic ending, in this case the -quan closing that links it to Raquan, Daquan and Jaquan. Some families may also have felt the pull of the Arabic Furqan, a name of dignity in Islam, though the everyday coinage story is the simpler read.

The name appeared in the nineteen-seventies, crested late in that decade, and had largely faded by the two-thousands. It went to only about twenty boys a year at most, so a Fuquan from its peak is now in his forties.

Did you know? The -quan ending that gives Fuquan its ring was one of the most productive sounds in African American boys' naming across the nineteen-seventies and eighties.
