falon is Irish in Origin.

Falon is a modern, streamlined spelling of Fallon, ultimately from the Irish surname Ó Fallamháin. The surname derives from the personal name Fallamhán, a Gaelic root usually interpreted as “leader,” “ruler,” or “superior one,” so the given name tends to carry connotations of command and confidence. It is pronounced FAL-en and is used for all genders, though more often for girls in North America.

While Fallon has long been established as an Irish family name with records in medieval Connacht, its life as a given name took off in the late 20th century. Popular culture - especially the 1980s television series Dynasty featuring the character Fallon Carrington - helped propel it into wider use; the simplified Falon followed as a contemporary variant. Other spellings include Fallon (standard), Fallan, Falyn, Fallyn, and Falynn, with O’Fallon preserved as a surname form. Despite modest usage, Falon offers a crisp Celtic-modern profile.
