Shaquone, of African origin, is derived from the Swahili name Shaaban, which means "morning." It gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century and has been used increasingly since then. The name Shaquone consists of three syllables: sha ("sha" as in "shame"), kuh ("kuh" as in "cut"), and ohn ("ohn" as in "on"). It is often misspelled or mispronounced, with common variations including Shaquan, Shawquon, Shakwon, Shaquann, among others.
Shaquone was quite popular in 1996 with five babies being named that year. Overall, there were just five children born with this name since records began.
