Our story of Zayvion
Our story of Zayvion is a story of two decades of parts. The -vion back arrived first, through Davion and Javion in the 1990s; the Zay- front followed, riding the Z fashion that gave American naming Zayden, Zaire and Zion. By the 2000s both were in wide circulation and the combination was almost inevitable. Zayvion appears in the American registers in that decade. It has no etymology to offer and does not need to borrow one — the workshop it came from is real and well documented.
Meaningnot established
Not established
No established etymology. The Zay- front circulates from Zayden and Zane; -vion and -vian appear in Davion, Javion and Trevion from the same period. Occasional attributions to Xavier are plausible by sound but not documented. It is a modern American coinage.
