Dwayne is an American given name of Scottish origin, derived from 'Donn', meaning 'brown-haired'. It has been popular throughout the United States since the mid-20th century.
The name Dwayn experienced some popularity spikes between 1958 and 1971, with the highest number of births occurring in 1971 at ten. However, it appears to have fallen out of favor thereafter, as indicated by the drop back down to five births in both 1978 and 1980.
