Dwyane is a masculine name best known through NBA basketball star Dwyane Wade. The name appears to be a variant spelling of Duane or Dwayne, which themselves derive from the Irish surname Dubhán (meaning 'dark' or 'black-haired'). What makes Dwyane distinctive is its unconventional spelling with the 'y' placed before the 'a' rather than after it. This spelling variation was reportedly the result of a spelling error on Wade's birth certificate that became his legal name. Since Wade's rise to fame in the early 2000s, the name has seen occasional use by parents, particularly among basketball fans. The unique spelling gives this otherwise familiar-sounding name a distinctive quality.

A Judeo-Spanish form of the Biblical Bechorath or Becher, Bechor may make strong and spiritual choice for a first-born son. It ultimately comes from <em>bekhorah</em> meaning "birthright" and relates to primogeniture, in which the first-born son inherits a greater portion of his parents' wealth. It may additionally link to the Jewish tradition of <em>pidyon haben</em>, in which the first-born son is redeemed by paying five silver coins to a Kohen.
