"I didn't realize they started naming cyclones after condiments over there.  Somebody pass the Grey Poupon."


Gi believe it or not Dujuan really is a name I could not find the Asian meaning for it but it seems to be a variation of Dujun which seems to mean governor, all powerful ruler of the province.   Tony Saich, author of "The origins of the first United Front in China".  An excerpt "A few soldiers must accompany travelers through Hunan - and this help must be provided by the dujun, governor, all powerful ruler of the province." http://books.google.com/books?id=h4AaPm7kIDoC&pg=PA747&lpg=PA747&dq=baby+names+dujun&source=bl&ots=qxwALtzeu_&sig=siJrkuU5U_O0UpZk4RgqkIwlDqw&hl=en&ei=o3ymSu-8MYeMtgfC6uHxDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#v=onepage&q=baby%20names%20dujun&f=false

There is a female fashion model that has the name.  http://www.magxone.com/vogue/du-juan-vogue-china-may-2009/    It seems there are many Filipinos that are named Juan.  I am guessing like many new names it is a combonation of names and or mispronunciation.  I know in Spanish have a famous lover http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Juan  I did find this.  Name: Dejuan gender: Boy, Meaning: N/A, Pronunciation: (deh HWAN), Form of: Junan, Additional info: Modern coinage: combination of the prefix 'de' with the Spanish name Juan.  Juan is Spanish meaning "God is gracious".  De means "of" in Spanish and Du means "of the" in French.  
TS Dujuan is a fish.
