Modern American creation, possibly meaning great spring
Dakwon is a contemporary American name likely formed by combining the popular prefix 'Da-' with the name Kwon. While Kwon has Korean roots meaning 'power' or 'authority', in this context it is often used for its rhythmic sound. It may also be a variant of Daquan or Dequan, names that emerged in African American communities in the late 20th century.
