Dawon is a boy's baby name of Korean origin, composed of the Korean elements meaning 'great' or 'big' and 'first' or 'origin,' giving the name a meaning of 'great beginning' or 'noble origin.' The name carries aspirational weight for the bearer's life path.
Dawon appears in Korean American communities, where the combination of familiar-sounding phonetics and meaningful Korean roots makes it work naturally in both Korean and English-speaking contexts.
Dawon has 43+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1971.
