Audelon is Germanic in Origin.

Audelon is a rare medieval French given name with West Germanic roots. It derives from the ancient element aud-/od-, meaning wealth, prosperity, combined with the Old French diminutive -on. Cognate with Odo/Otto and related forms across the Frankish world, Audelon carries the sense of “little wealthy one” or “prosperity.”

In Latin records it appears as Audelo, Audelon, or Audelinus, sometimes conflated with Odilo (Odilon), especially after the cult of St. Odilo of Cluny and St. Ouen (Audoenus) popularized the Aud-/Od- family of names in medieval Normandy and Île-de-France. Documented chiefly in northern France and Flanders, it later survived as a surname. Modern variants and relatives include Audelin, Audelon (unchanged), Audon, Audoen/Audouin (English/French), Odilon, Odon/Odo, Otto, and the German Udo; feminine counterparts are Audeline and Odeline. Today Audelon is extremely uncommon but offers a historic, softly Francophone choice with a meaning linked to good fortune.
