Jevon is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Latin origin, meaning "God is merciful". It was first used by author Thomas Hardy in his novel "The Trumpet Major", published in 1880. Since then, it has been adopted by a small number of individuals worldwide. In the United States, Jevon has been more popular as a surname than a first name, with its peak usage in the early 20th century.
"The name Jevon experienced a peak of popularity with nine births in 1983, but has been relatively uncommon throughout the rest of the period, with most years seeing five to seven births."
