Juwan Origin and Meaning

The name Juwan is a boy's name.

Juwan is a name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Juan, the Spanish form of John, ultimately derived from Hebrew meaning 'God is gracious.' Alternatively, it could be related to Arabic names like Jawan (meaning 'young man'). The spelling with 'u' rather than 'ua' creates a distinctive variant from the more common Juan. Juwan gained notable recognition in the United States in the 1990s, partly due to basketball player Juwan Howard who was part of the University of Michigan's 'Fab Five' before his NBA career. The name first appeared with significant frequency in U.S. records in the 1970s, peaked in the 1990s, and has maintained moderate usage since. While not among the most common names, Juwan has established consistent usage particularly in the United States.
