Clevon Origin and Meaning

The name Clevon is a boy's name.

Clevon appears to be a variant or diminutive form of the name Cleve, which itself is typically a shortened form of Cleveland. Cleveland originated as an English surname derived from a place name meaning 'land of cliffs' or 'cliff-land' (from Old English 'clif' + 'land'). Clevon emerged in American naming practices during the mid-20th century, with some documented usage beginning in the 1950s and 1960s. The suffix '-on' is a common name-forming element that appears in many masculine names. Usage records show modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and early 1980s, though it has never ranked among highly common names. The name may be chosen for its blend of traditional elements with a distinctive sound and its connection to the more established Cleveland.
