DuWayne is an American name for boys rooted in Irish and Old English. Its Irish origins link DuWayne to the surname Ó Dubháin, lending the meanings “descendant of Dubhán” or “little dark one.” While DuWayne’s Irish roots admire one’s dark features, the name’s British background takes a more occupational approach. DuWayne is also considered a modern blend of the prefix “Du-” with British Wayne, which first sprouted to life as a surname for wagon makers. Full of charm and industrious sentiment, DuWayne is for the baby who works hard, plays hard, and looks good doing it.
