Dajean
A boy's name of Hebrew origin with 24 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Dajean is a two-syllable boy's name with a clean, contemporary sound — among the most common endings in modern American names. With only 24 recorded U.S. births, it is exceptionally rare — the kind of name most people encounter for the first time when they meet your child.
Dajean is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Dajean is a boy's baby name of American origin, a creative combination of the Da- prefix (common in African American naming as an intensifier or a reference to "the") with Jean (the French form of John, from Hebrew Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious"). The fusion creates a name with both expressive American energy and classical French-Hebrew roots.
Dajean has the easy, confident flow of American compound names — two familiar syllables that work perfectly together. The Da- prefix gives the classic Jean a contemporary spin, creating something that sounds both rooted and completely fresh.
