Origin
Meaning and history of Daebreon
The name Daebreon finds its linguistic origins in the ancient Proto-Gaelic language spoken in parts of what is now modern-day Scotland and Ireland. It is derived from the Proto-Gaelic root words "daeb" meaning "strong" and "reon" meaning "guardian" or "protector." Thus, the name Daebreon can be interpreted as "strong protector" or "guardian of strength."
One of the earliest recorded references to the name Daebreon can be found in the 8th century illuminated manuscript known as the Book of Kells. This ornately decorated manuscript, produced by Celtic monks around the year 800 CE, contains illustrations depicting a warrior named Daebreon leading a band of soldiers into battle.
In the 11th century, a Scottish chieftain named Daebreon mac Fergusson is recorded in the Annals of Ulster as leading a successful raid against Viking invaders along the western coast of Scotland. His bravery and military prowess earned him a reputation as a fearsome warrior and protector of his clan.
During the 13th century, a legendary Irish bard named Daebreon O'Malley was renowned for his poetic skill and his ability to compose stirring battle hymns that inspired warriors to greatness. His collected works, known as the "Lays of Daebreon," were cherished and passed down through oral tradition for generations.
In the 16th century, a Gaelic scholar and historian named Daebreon MacLean authored a comprehensive chronicle of the histories and genealogies of the Highland clans of Scotland. His work, entitled "The Lineages of the Gael," is still considered an invaluable resource for understanding the complex web of kinship and allegiances that shaped the political landscape of medieval Scotland.
In more recent times, a notable figure named Daebreon was Daebreon O'Connor, an Irish revolutionary and member of the Irish Republican Army during the early 20th century struggle for Irish independence. Born in 1892, O'Connor was an active participant in the Easter Rising of 1916 and was later imprisoned by British authorities for his role in the conflict.

FAQ
Daebreon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Daebreon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 18 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Daebreon going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 19,041,908 US residents.
Is Daebreon a common name?
We classify Daebreon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 38.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 18 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Daebreon most popular?
The single biggest year for Daebreon was 2000, when 18 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Daebreon is about 26 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Daebreon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Daebreon a female name?
Yes, 72.2% of people registered as Daebreon in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Daebreon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Daebreon in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Daebreon can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
