Algrenon is in Origin.

Algrenon is a modern respelling of Algernon, an English given name of Norman French origin. It derives from the phrase aux gernons, literally "with whiskers," a jocular epithet applied to men sporting prominent moustaches in the generation after the Norman Conquest. As a given name, it carries the sense of "the moustached one" or "he of the whiskers," blending medieval humor with aristocratic polish.

The name circulated in Anglo-Norman families and later saw polite-society use in Britain from the 17th through 19th centuries, aided by figures such as Algernon Sidney and the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne; it also appears in literature (Wilde's Algernon Moncrieff; Flowers for Algernon). Variants and diminutives include Algernon (standard), Algeron, Algernoun, Algernón, and Algy/Algie. Algrenon remains very rare today, offering a distinctive twist while retaining the classic meaning.
