History & Origin

Laquon is a coined masculine name that joins the fashionable La- prefix to a Quon element, close kin to Laquan and Dequan. Names of this kind were valued in African-American communities for their strong, distinctive rhythm rather than for an inherited meaning, and Laquon is a clear example of that creative naming era.

Laquon was never common, given to only about fourteen boys a year even at its peak in the early nineteen-nineties and just over a hundred boys across a run into the two-thousands. A boy named Laquon then is in his mid-thirties today.

Did you know? Laquon sits with Laquan, Dequan and Marquon in a family of names built on the punchy Quan and Quon sound.
