Dyshon is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It is derived from African-American Vernacular English, with its roots tracing back to the phrase "dis own" meaning one's own. This naming convention became popular among the African-American community during the mid-20th century as an expression of cultural pride and self-affirmation. The name Dyshon has gained recognition and usage beyond its origins, appearing in records from various regions around the world, though it remains relatively uncommon outside of the United States.
"The name Dyshon was quite popular between 1986 and 1992, with at least five instances of it being chosen for newborns each year during this period."
