Beynon is Welsh in Origin.

Beynon is a Welsh surname-turned-given name deriving from the patronymic formula ab Einion (“son of Einion”). In Welsh naming, ab/ap (“son of”) fused with the father’s name, producing forms such as Beynon and Eynon; Bennion and Benyon are Anglicised variants. Einion is an old Welsh personal name, borne by early medieval princes (e.g., Einion Yrth), interpreted as “steadfast, anvil-like; stability,” and sometimes linked to the Latin Ennianus. The surname concentrated historically in southwest Wales (Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire) as fixed surnames replaced fluid patronymics in the 16th–17th centuries.

As a first name, Beynon is rare but fits modern British and Welsh trends of adopting surnames as given names. Pronounced BAY-non, it carries the layered sense of “son of Einion” and, by extension, “steadfast.” Related choices include Einion and Eynon; spelling variants include Beynon, Benyon, Bennion, and Baynon.
