Eadon is English in Origin.

Blending modern given-name fashion with deep roots, Eadon has two credible sources. As a contemporary spelling of Aidan/Aiden (from Irish Gaelic Aodhán, diminutive of Aodh “fire”), it carries the meaning “little fire” and echoes the legacy of St. Aidan of Lindisfarne and early medieval Irish saints.

Separately, Eadon appears as an English surname, particularly in northern counties, traced to place-names and personal names: either locative from Old English ēa “river” + dūn “hill” or tūn “settlement” (cf. Eydon, Eaton), or patronymic from Eade, a medieval short form of Ead‑ names meaning “wealth, prosperity.” Variants and near-variants include Aidan, Aiden, Ayden, Eiden, Eaden, Eydon, and the unrelated Eden (Hebrew “delight”). As a given name, Eadon is a 21st‑century rarity, chosen for its familiar Aidan-like sound with a distinctive twist.
