Einon is Welsh in Origin.

Einon is a Welsh masculine given name, generally treated as a variant of Einion. It derives from the Welsh noun einion, “anvil,” a traditional metaphor for firmness and endurance, so the name carries senses of “steadfast,” “reliable,” and “solid in character.”

The name is well attested in medieval Wales among leaders and poets: notable bearers include Einion Yrth ap Cunedda, an early king of Gwynedd; Einion ap Owain of Deheubarth; and the grammarian-poet Einion Offeiriad. Over time it produced several spellings and Anglicizations: Einion remains the standard modern Welsh form; Einon preserves an older or dialectal spelling; and Eynon and Enyon appear in English records, later becoming common Welsh surnames. Rarer medieval spellings such as Eignon also occur in manuscripts. Usage today is uncommon but culturally distinctive, appealing for its succinct sound and its association with resilience.
