Zavion is a modern masculine name that appears to have emerged in the late 20th century. It may be related to Xavier (from Basque, meaning 'new house' or possibly 'bright') with the popular '-on' ending that appears in many contemporary names. Alternatively, it could be a creative variation of names like Zavier or Savion. The initial 'Z' gives the name a distinctive, strong beginning, while the overall sound has a contemporary feel. Zavion began appearing more frequently in naming records in the 1990s and early 2000s. The name exemplifies modern naming trends that favor strong consonant sounds (particularly Z, which has grown in popularity) combined with familiar name endings. While not among the most common names, Zavion has established a consistent presence in contemporary naming patterns, offering a distinctive option with accessible pronunciation.
