History & Origin

Marquon is a modern African-American coinage, pairing a Mar- opening that echoes Marquis and Marcus with the popular -quon ending of Daquon and Raquon. Names of this shape were widely created in the later twentieth century, prized for their bold sound. Marquon is invented rather than inherited, built for its rhythm in that inventive tradition.

Marquon was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak around 2000, and it stayed rare across its span. A boy named Marquon then is in his mid-twenties today.

Did you know? The -quon ending in Marquon was a favorite late-century name-piece, generating names like Daquon, Raquon and Jaquon alongside it.
