"Variant of Deshawn"
The name Deshawna is commonly a female name from the "American" origin.
Deshawna is a modern American feminine name formed from Deshawn by the addition of a final -a, the same pattern that gives Shawna from Shawn. Deshawn itself combines the prefix De-, common in American coinages such as DeAndre and DeMarco, with Shawn, the English spelling of Irish Sean. United States birth records first list Deshawna in 1969.
Deshawn means "God is gracious. A form of Shaun.".
The pronunciation of Deshawna is dih-SHAW-nuh.
