Our story of Tayvion
Ours, offered as ours. The -vion and -avion endings did something specific for American English: they supplied a three-syllable shape with the weight in the middle, which the language does not otherwise produce much of in names. Davion, Javion, Tayvion and Kavion all share it, and all appeared within about fifteen years. That is a naming tradition inventing a rhythm and then filling it, which is worth describing accurately even without an etymology.
Meaningnot established
Not established

The Javar test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Tayvion's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Javar climbed just as high around 1980, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Javar's path sketches the road Tayvion is walking now.
