History & Origin

Jawann is a coined American boys' name appearing in United States records from the mid-1970s. It joins a J- opening to a -wan ending in the same inventive family as Dajuan and Jawan.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its mid-1980s high before easing off. A boy named Jawann then is in his late thirties today.

Did you know? Jawann echoes the Spanish Juan inside a fresh American coinage, one of many -wan and -juan names that spread in the late twentieth century.
