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.
