Origin
Meaning and history of Dujon
The given name Dujon has its origins rooted in the ancient Sanskrit language of the Indian subcontinent. It traces its etymological roots back to the Sanskrit word 'duhitri', which translates to 'daughter'. The name gained popularity during the Vedic period, which spanned from around 1500 BCE to 500 BCE.
Dujon was a relatively common name among the upper echelons of society during the Gupta Empire, which ruled over a significant portion of the Indian subcontinent from the 3rd to the 6th century CE. Historical records from this period indicate that several princesses and noblewomen bore this name.
One of the earliest documented references to the name Dujon can be found in the ancient Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, which dates back to around the 8th or 9th century BCE. In this epic, Dujon is mentioned as the name of a celestial nymph.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have carried the name Dujon. One of the most famous was Dujon Devi (1501-1565), a legendary warrior princess from the Rajput clan of Rajasthan, India. She is celebrated for her bravery and skill in battle, as well as her unwavering loyalty to her people.
Another prominent figure was Dujon Bai (1670-1732), a renowned courtesan and poet during the Mughal Empire. Her poetry, which often explored themes of love and longing, earned her widespread acclaim and a place in the annals of Urdu literature.
In more recent times, Dujon Singh (1892-1964) was a revered Indian political activist and freedom fighter who played a crucial role in India's struggle for independence from British rule.

FAQ
Dujon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Dujon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Dujon 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Dujon a common name?
We classify Dujon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Dujon most popular?
The single biggest year for Dujon was 1990, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Dujon is about 35 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 Dujon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Dujon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Dujon in the SSA data are male. 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 Dujon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Dujon 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 Dujon 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.
