Brenon is Irish in Origin.

Brenon is a modern English given name most likely fashioned as a streamlined variant of Irish Brennan and Brendan. Brennan comes from the Gaelic surname Ó Braonáin, “descendant of Braonán,” from braon, “drop, tear, rain”; Brendan reflects Old Irish Bréanainn, probably from a Brittonic root related to Welsh brenin “king,” hence often interpreted as “prince.” Thus Brenon carries associations of lineage and leadership alongside poetic images of rain or tears.

As a distinct spelling, Brenon appears in late 20th‑century North American records and remains uncommon, while its cognates have deeper roots: Brennan as a widespread Irish surname and Brendan popularized by the 6th‑century Saint Brendan the Navigator. Variants include Brennan, Brennon/Brennen, and Brendan/Brenden/Brendon; related feminine Brenna and the nickname Bren are also used. The spelling also coincides with a French surname and place-name, which sometimes guides usage.
