All over the world, Dedan (Dedan , דדאן , Дедан ) is quite a rare largely male, but uncommonly feminine first name. The first name Dedan is characteristic of Tanzania, where it is quite a rare male name, Kenya, where it is a rare boy's name, and Iraq, where it is a rare unisex name. Measured by absolute frequency, it most frequently occurs in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Nigeria, Tanzania, and Kenya. Much less frequently, Dedan is the last name as well as the forename.
Dedan is also a name from the Bible. Explore more in our Biblical names portal!
