Our story of Jaevon
The Social Security Administration publishes every name given to at least five children of one sex in a year, which means the list runs to about thirty thousand names annually and the great majority of them are rare. A name ranked around three thousandth was given to roughly forty or fifty children; a name at the very bottom was given to five. This matters for how the data should be read. At the top, a rank is a genuine measure of a fashion shared by hundreds of thousands of families. At the bottom, a rank measures almost nothing: the difference between rank 3,200 and rank 3,900 is a handful of births and could reverse in either direction by chance. What the long tail does record faithfully is variety. Most of those thirty thousand names are spelling variants of a few hundred sounds, and the tail is where the American habit of respelling is fully visible.
Meaningnot established
Not established
Jaevon has no inherited etymology. It joins the American prefix Ja- to a -von ending, itself taken from Devon or Javon. The inserted e is silent and changes nothing. The whole belongs to a large family of similar names, none of which carries meaning. The peak is 2006, at a rank low enough that the name was given to only a few dozen boys that year.

Line the two peaks up, and Nataniel's path sketches the road Jaevon is walking now.
