Historical Context

Jevon is generally treated as a modern English variant of Javan, a name found in the Hebrew Bible. Javan, from Hebrew Yavan, is used there as the name of a descendant of Noah and as a term associated with the Greek lands and peoples. The spelling Jevon developed much later in English-speaking use, following the sound and shape of related forms such as Javan and Javen.
