History & Origin

Jequan is a coined boys' name joining the Je- prefix to a -quan ending. It appears in United States records from the late 1980s, part of a broad wave of inventive -quan names.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around its mid-nineties high. A boy named Jequan then is in his thirties now, from a generation that made a signature of coined -quan names.
