What is the meaning of the name Allon ?

The baby name Allon is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Hebrew: ah-LOHN (IPA: aˈlon); English: AL-ən (IPA: ˈælən).

Allon is Hebrew in Origin.

Allon is a Hebrew masculine name from the noun allon (אלון), “oak,” a tree long associated with strength, steadfastness, and longevity. The word appears in the Hebrew Bible both as a common noun and within names and places: Allon-bacuth, “oak of weeping,” marks the burial of Deborah in Genesis 35:8, and an ancestor named Allon occurs in 1 Chronicles 4:37. Pronunciation in modern Hebrew is ah-LOHN.

In modern usage Allon functions as both given name and surname, especially in Israel; the statesman Yigal Allon helped familiarize the spelling in the West. The simpler transliteration Alon is now the most common form, with related or variant forms including Elon and Eilon/Eylon (also “oak/terebinth”). Feminine counterparts such as Alona appear, and cognate Ilan/Ilana (“tree”) offer a broader arboreal link. Allon suits parents seeking a succinct, nature-rooted name with quiet resilience.
