DeSean

DeSean is a given name, primarily used as a male name. It is most commonly associated with African American culture. The name is a modern invention, likely a combination of the prefix "De-" and the name "Sean" or "Shawn," both of which are Irish in origin and anglicized forms of the name "Seán," the Irish version of John.

The meaning of DeSean is therefore derivative of the name Sean/Shawn/John, which ultimately means "God is gracious." The "De-" prefix does not generally carry a specific inherent meaning in this context, but contributes to the overall uniqueness and style of the name.

The name rose in popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It is particularly known due to its association with notable individuals in sports and entertainment.

Variations of the name, while not exceptionally common, may include Desean with different capitalization (e.g., DeShaun, DeSean) or slight spelling alterations.
