History & Origin

Tijuan is a phonetic coinage that grafts the Ti- prefix onto Juan, part of the inventive African-American naming that reworked familiar sounds into new names. Its meaning lives in the Juan base rather than in the coined whole.

Never widespread, it was given to only about twenty boys a year at most and slipped away after the nineteen-nineties. A boy named Tijuan at its peak would be in his early fifties today. The name is sometimes confused with the border city Tijuana, though the two are unrelated.

Did you know? The Juan tucked inside Tijuan is the Spanish form of John, from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning God is gracious, one of the most widely borne names on earth.
