Labon is in Origin.

Labon is a modern spelling of the biblical name Laban, from Hebrew lavan meaning “white, fair, shining.” The name appears in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament as the Aramean patriarch Laban, father of Leah and Rachel and uncle and father-in-law of Jacob. Via the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate, the form Laban passed into European languages and Christian naming traditions.

English usage peaked among Puritans and revivalist communities from the 17th to 19th centuries, and it persists sporadically in English-speaking countries and in Christian communities across Africa and the Caribbean. Labon arises as a phonetic or stylistic variant, sometimes influenced by surnames like LeBon or by productive La- prefix in contemporary naming. Documented variants and related forms include Laban, Leban, Laben, LeBon (occasionally used as a given name), and Hebrew-related feminine Levana/Levanah. Across these spellings, the core sense remains “white,” extended to ideas of purity, clarity, or illumination.
