Doon - Baby Name Meaning, Origin, and Popularity

The name Doon is a girl's name of Scottish origin meaning "brown or dark".

Photographer Diane Arbus named her daughter Doon, inspired by the sand dunes she walked among when pregnant. Used this way, Doon might be considered a nature name, a refashioning of the word dune. But Doon might also stem from the familiar Scottish surname Dunn or Dunne, which means brown or dark, originally used for a dark-haired person.
