Chanon is Thai in Origin.
Chanon is a cross-cultural given name with strong Semitic roots. In Hebrew it aligns with Chanan/Chanun (from the root H-N-N), meaning "gracious, merciful," an epithet found in the Hebrew Bible. Related forms appear across the ancient Levant, for example Phoenician/Punic Hannon, and the name has circulated in Jewish communities under spellings such as Chanan, Hanan, and Hanon.
In contemporary use, Chanon is also a Thai masculine name, popularized in the late 20th-21st centuries; Thai spellings vary, and exact meanings depend on the specific Thai elements used, but the name is favored for its smooth sound and auspicious sense of kindness. Variants and cognates include Chanan, Hanan, Hanon, Channon; related theophoric extensions are Hanania/Chananya ("God is gracious"). Unisex in some cultures, Chanon carries the appealing core meaning of grace, favor, and compassion.
