History & Origin

Jonavon is a contemporary coinage, extending Jon, the short form of John, with the fashionable -von ending seen in Javon and Devon. Its opening carries John's 'God has given' sense, while the whole is a modern, individualizing blend.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen boys a year at its peak around 2007. A boy named Jonavon then is a teenager or young adult today.

Did you know? Jonavon belongs to a family of -von names, such as Javon and Davon, that African American families favored in the later twentieth century.
