Dedeon
Origin:Modern
Meaning:"Of the old one; Deep river flowing through the valley; Village by the deep river"
Dedeon is a gender-neutral name with a variety of meanings and origins inspiring it. While it’s been found to be a masculine first name in Switzerland, its meaning is steeped in a bit of mystery. As a modern title, it may have been influenced by titles like Dedon or Deden. Dedon can come from the French Daudon, meaning “of the old one,” or the Old English Debenham, meaning “deep river flowing through the valley.” Deden, on the other hand, has Old English roots and can translate to “village by the deep river.” With meanings that allude to a long life or a peaceful yet powerful river, Dedeon is flowing with encouragement for your little one.
