Our story of Jayvion
Our story of Jayvion is a story of a set of parts. African-American naming from the 1970s onward has built given names from a stock of fronts — Ja-, De-, Tre-, Ke- — and endings — -von, -vion, -shawn, -mar — generating names that belong to no borrowed tradition and to no one else. Jayvion, Davion, Javion and Trevion come out of the same kit. It appears in the registers from the 1990s. That is a real history, and it is worth stating rather than inventing a foreign source.
