Jovaun Origin and Meaning

The name Jovaun is a boy's name.

Jovaun appears to be a modern given name with uncertain etymology. It may be a variant spelling of Jovan, which derives from the Slavic name Ivan (a form of John), meaning 'God is gracious.' Alternatively, it could be a creative variation combining elements of names like Joseph, Jovani, or Vaughn. The name has been documented primarily in North America since the late 20th century. Its pronunciation typically follows the pattern jo-VAWN or JO-von. While not among the most common names, Jovaun has maintained a steady if limited presence in naming records, particularly since the 1990s. The distinctive spelling gives the name a contemporary feel while potentially preserving traditional name elements.
