Combination name, likely meaning 'of' or 'from' Quan.
Dequan is a modern American name created by combining the prefix 'De-' with the name 'Quan'. While 'De' often functions as a stylistic prefix in African American naming traditions, 'Quan' can have roots in Chinese meaning 'spring' or 'authority', though in this context it is primarily chosen for its rhythmic sound.
