Dwan Origin and Meaning

The name Dwan is a girl's name.

Dwan is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be derived from the English word 'dawn,' referring to the first appearance of light in the morning, symbolizing new beginnings and hope. Alternatively, it could be an Anglicized form of the Irish name Devin or a variation of Dawn with distinctive spelling. The name gained modest usage in the United States during the mid-20th century but has remained relatively uncommon. Dwan carries connotations of freshness, renewal, and natural beauty through its association with daybreak. The unique spelling distinguishes it from the more common Dawn while maintaining the same gentle, luminous qualities and single-syllable simplicity.
