Davon as a feminine name represents an interesting crossover, as it's more commonly used as a masculine name in English-speaking countries. It may be considered a feminine variation of 'Devon' or 'Davina.' The name likely derives from either the English county of Devon or possibly as a variation of the Hebrew name David, meaning 'beloved.' As a feminine choice, Davon offers a modern, gender-neutral sound that appeals to parents seeking less traditionally gendered names. The name possesses a contemporary feel with strong consonants balanced by its soft ending, making it distinctive yet accessible for a girl.

The name Davon peaked for girls at #3879 in 1985. Davon is occasionally used for boys in 2025.
