Anyon is in Origin.

Anyon is a modern given name with Welsh roots, ultimately linked to the medieval Welsh name Einion, from the noun einion meaning anvil, used figuratively for steadfastness and reliability. Through centuries of Anglicization, Einion produced surnames such as Eynon, Enion, Enyon, Onion/Onions, and O'Nions; Anyon sits among these surname forms that later inspired use as a first name. Related variants and cognates include Einion, Eynon, Enion, Enyon, and Aynon, while spelling sisters like Onion reflect the same source via dialectal shifts.

As a forename, Anyon is rare but fits the contemporary surname-as-given-name trend and is often chosen for its strong, grounded meaning. Historical bearers appear chiefly under Einion in medieval Wales (e.g., princes and poets), not under Anyon itself. Some modern parents also appreciate the subtle nod to the physics term anyon (fractional-statistics quasiparticles), lending a brainy, modern twist to a name rooted in enduring strength.
