Dyquan is an uncommon yet distinctive given name, derived from African-American culture. It consists of two elements: 'Dy', which means 'intelligence' or 'wise', and 'Quan', a variant of 'Kwan', meaning 'powerful'. The combination suggests a name that signifies wisdom and strength. Dyquan first gained notable recognition in the late 20th century, likely influenced by the popularity of names like Dwayne, Tyrone, and other African-American names starting with 'D' during that period.
"The name Dyquan experienced a peak in popularity between 1994 and 1995 with 25 and 20 births respectively, before tapering off to single digits by the early 2000s."
