Dwan is a unisex first name, but it has been given primarily to boys for a number of years.
At least in the US, the name Dwan is extremely rare. Recently, only a handful of babies has been named Dwan each year. That means it’s extremely unlikely that a boy or girl called Dwan will meet someone with the same name. So, Dwan is a very special name!
If your name is Dwan your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Dwan never ranked higher than position 1,225 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their newborn Dwan. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1983 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Dwan because that was a few decades ago - unless you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Dwan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Dwan still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Dwan who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.

In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
