Duane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duane is a given name for a male. In the United States this spelling is typically associated with white Southerners. It seems to have a convergent etymology from several sources.
One of its origins in the Norman "D'Wain", meaning "of Wagons". Other origins include an Old English version meaning "field" or "meadow"; in Scottish Gaelic, the name stems from 'duin' meaning "brown" or "dark".
