History & Origin

Juwuan is a respelled form in the Juan/Dejuan family, sounding out the name in full letters. Juan is the Spanish John, from the Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious'; Dejuan is an African American elaboration. Juwuan reflects the creative respelling of that name in the nineties.

It appeared only in small numbers around the mid-nineties and faded within a decade, never common. It reads as an of-its-moment respelling rather than an established form.

Did you know? Under its unusual spelling, Juwuan carries the same meaning as John - 'God is gracious' - by way of the Spanish Juan and the African American Dejuan.
