History & Origin

Trajon is a modern coinage assembled from a Tra- onset and a -jon ending, part of the inventive African American naming of the late twentieth century. Its resemblance to the Roman Trajan is coincidental. Trajon appears in United States records reaching a modest high in the late 1990s.

It stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its peak, so a Trajon from then would be in his twenties. It reads as a crisp, of-the-moment coinage, at home beside Trevon and Rajon.

Did you know? Though Trajon coincidentally recalls the Roman emperor Trajan, it was almost certainly built for its sound, from the Tra- and -jon of its era's coinages.
