Cenon is Greek in Origin.

Cenon is a Spanish- and Filipino-leaning form of the Greek name Zenon (Zēnōn), a theophoric derivative of Zeus via the genitive Zēnos. It therefore carries the meaning “of Zeus” or “belonging to Zeus,” sometimes broadened to “divine.” Related forms include Zeno, Zenon, Zenón (Spanish), Zénon (French), Zenone (Italian), and the scholarly transliteration Zinon; feminine counterparts appear as Zenona/Zenone. The spelling with initial C reflects Spanish phonetics before e or i and is attested in colonial Philippine records; it also surfaces in French place names such as Cenon.

Use of the name traces to the Hellenistic world, borne by figures like Zeno of Citium (founder of Stoicism) and Zeno of Elea, and later by several Christian martyrs and bishops called Zenon/Zenón, which secured its liturgical presence around the Mediterranean. Cenon persisted in Spanish-speaking regions and the Philippines into the 19th–20th centuries, now rare but recognizable through its saintly and classical pedigree.
