Lavonne is an uncommon yet intriguing female given name of American origin. It is derived from the male given name Lawrence, which itself originates from the Latin Laurentius, meaning "from Laurentum," a town in ancient Italy. The name Lavonne was popularized during the mid-20th century but has since become quite rare, adding to its unique charm. Pronounced as /ləˈvɒn/ or /ləˈvɔːn/, it rhymes with "have on." Spellings may also vary slightly, with Lavon and Lavana being less common alternatives. As a given name, Lavonne is not associated with any particular month or day, making it a versatile choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"Lavonne saw its peak popularity between 1936 and 1942, with over 100 babies named Lavonne born during these years alone. However, it's important to note that the name's usage has significantly declined since the mid-20th century, with only a handful of births recorded annually from the late 1970s onwards."
