Javaughn is a unique and distinctive given name, originating from African-American culture. It consists of two parts: 'Ja', meaning 'always' in Swahili, and 'Vaughn', which is an anglicized form of the Welsh name 'Ffion', meaning 'white'. Thus, Javaughn can be interpreted as 'Always Ffion' or 'Always White'. This name gained prominence during the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, making it a standout choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name.
The name Javaughn experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years. While it started with modest numbers of births each year between 1973 and 1985, it began to gain traction in the late 1980s, peaking at 52 births in 1997. However, after this peak, the name's popularity declined steadily, reaching an all-time low of 6 births in 2020. Despite these fluctuations, Javaughn has been a consistent choice for parents over the past five decades, with a total of 927 births recorded between 1973 and 2023.
