Inon is Hebrew in Origin.

Inon is a Hebrew masculine given name, a transliteration variant of Yinon (Hebrew ינון). It derives from the Biblical verb yinnon in Psalm 72:17, commonly glossed “will endure,” “be perpetuated,” or “flourish,” linked to the root nun (“to sprout, propagate”). In rabbinic tradition, Yinon is counted among the titles of the Messiah, reinforcing connotations of continuity and blessing.

As a personal name it appears sporadically in Jewish history and became more widespread with the revival of Hebrew in the 19th–20th centuries, especially in Israel. Variants include Yinon, Yinnon, and less often Innon; related spellings in other languages may use I- or Yi- to capture the initial glide. Diminutives such as Non or Noni sometimes occur. Note that Enon/Aenon (a New Testament place-name meaning “springs”) is etymologically unrelated. The name’s sense suggests wishes for lasting legacy, growth, and prosperity.
