Dallon is English in Origin.

Dallon is a modern English masculine given name formed on the pattern of surnames ending in -on. It is most often understood as a spelling variant of Dallin or Dallen, themselves drawn from the English surname Dalling (“Dalla’s people,” from the Old English personal name Dalla + -ingas). Some bearers also connect it to the Irish name Dallán, borne by the early poet-saint Dallán Forgaill, from Old Irish dall “blind” with the diminutive suffix -án, yielding the tender sense “little blind one” (often interpreted metaphorically as “seer”). In other lines, Dallon aligns with the Dillon/Dylan sound family.

As a given name, Dallon saw sporadic American use in the late 20th century and remains rare; visibility increased through musician Dallon Weekes. Variants and related forms include Dallin, Dallen, Dallan, Dalon; cognates/near-variants: Dillon, Dylan. Meaning is thus read either as “Dalla’s descendant/clan,” “little blind one,” or tied to the Dillon/León tradition.
