Jequan is of African origin, derived from the Yoruba name 'Osegun', which means 'the king will come'. It is a unique and distinct name, often used in African American communities.
The name Jequan was popular between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, with peaks of 25 births in 1995 and 19 births in 1993. After a steady decline from the late 1990s onwards, it saw a slight resurgence around 2016 but has since declined again by 2022.
