Fawn (given name)
Fawn is a feminine given name derived from the English name for a juvenile deer and the color. “Fawn” is also an English word meaning “to court favor from” or “to show affection.” Fawne is a spelling variant. Fawna and Fawnia are other variants of the name. The name has been in use in the Anglosphere since the 18th century. It was among the top 1,000 names for newborn girls in the United States between 1960 and 1966 and again between 1973 and 1983. It has since declined in use.
