Hagon is English, Irish in Origin.

Hagon is a rare English-language given name and surname most often treated as a spelling variant of Hagan/Hagen. Two main etymologies are cited: an Irish Gaelic line from Ó hÁgáin, based on the personal name Aodhagán, a diminutive of Aodh “fire,” giving the sense “little fire”; and a Continental Germanic line from medieval Hagano/Hagen, built on Old High German hag “hedge, enclosure,” likely denoting someone who lived by a fenced field. Some onomastists also note occasional confusion with the Scandinavian royal name Håkon/Haakon (“high-born; noble son”).

Attested in medieval English records as a byname and later a hereditary surname, Hagon surfaces as a given name only sporadically from the 19th century onward in Britain and the Commonwealth. Variants include Hagan and Hagen; related surnames include O’Hagan; Scandinavian cognate Håkon/Haakon.
