Gon is Japanese, Korean in Origin.

Gon is a cross-cultural male name and nickname. In Japanese, it may stand alone or appear in compounds like Gonta or Gonzō; the meaning varies by kanji, often including 権 “authority/provisional,” 吾 “self,” or 言 “speech.” In Iberian usage, Gon is a clipped form of Spanish Gonzalo and Portuguese Gonçalo, from Visigothic Gundisalvus, commonly read as “battle” + “safe/salvation.” In Korean, Gon (곤) is a name element with hanja such as 坤 “earth” or 琨 “fine jade.”

Japanese usage reaches back to court titles where 権 (gon) signified an acting rank (e.g., Gon no Dainagon), influenced Edo-period characters like the roguish Gonta, and persists in pop culture (Gon Freecss). Variants and cognates include Gonta, Gonzō/Gonzo (JP); Gonzalo, Gonçalo, and Basque Gontzal. Pet forms in Spanish-speaking contexts include Gon and Gonchi.
