Shaquane is a unique and contemporary given name of African American origin, derived from the Arabic 'shaqee', meaning 'to scatter or spread'. It gained popularity during the late 20th century, likely influenced by its similarity to other names like Shaunte and Shaquila, which were common at that time. Spelling variations include Shaquan and Shaquawn, although the most prevalent form is Shaquane. The name has been embraced by families seeking distinctive yet approachable monikers for their children.
