Javontay is a unique, modern given name of American origin. It was created by combining two popular names from the same region: 'Javon', which is a variant of 'Jonathan', meaning 'gift of God' in Hebrew; and 'Tay', a shortened form of the name 'Tray'. Thus, Javontay can be interpreted as 'gift of God (who is) gracious'. This name has gained popularity since the late 20th century and is often used within African American communities.
"The name Javontay experienced peak popularity between 1997 and 2001, with a notable rise from 6 births in 1991 to a high of 19 births in 1997. However, since then it has seen a steady decline, falling below 10 births per year consistently after 2010, except for a brief spike in 2018 and 2020 with 6 and 8 births respectively."
