History & Origin

Requan is a coined name of the nineteen-nineties, built on the Re- prefix and the -quan ending that powered a whole set of contemporary boys' names. That ending carries no dictionary meaning; the names were made for their bold, modern rhythm. Requan was one of the rarer members of this family and appeared mainly in the mid-nineties.

Requan was scarce, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak in the middle nineteen-nineties, with some later use. A boy named Requan then would be about thirty today.

Did you know? The -quan ending in Requan was one of the most productive building blocks of nineteen-nineties boys' names, generating Daquan, Tyquan, Dequan and many more.
