Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Javion

Javion is an African-American name invention; it’s most likely an elaboration of Javon. Javon in turn is believed to be inspired by the Hebrew name Javan (Yavan) meaning “Greek”. Javan appears early on in the Bible, in Genesis 10 which details the nations descended from Noah. Javan is listed as one of the seven sons of Japheth (Japheth being Noah’s son), so Javan is Noah’s grandson. Javan is considered the forefather of the Greek people: “From these the coastland people spread in their lands, each with their own language, by their clans, in their nation.” (Genesis 10:5). Whether or not the first African-Americans who coined Javion had the Biblical Javan in mind we’re not sure. It seems reasonable to assume the name’s creation went something like this: Javan –> Javon –> Javion. The again, it’s all “Greek” to us!
