Lannon is Irish in Origin.
Rooted in Irish Gaelic, Lannon is the Anglicized form of the surname Ó Lonáin, meaning "descendant of Lonán." Lonán itself comes from lon, "blackbird," with the affectionate diminutive -án, giving the sense "little blackbird." The Ó Lonáin families were prominent hereditary poets and scribes in medieval Munster and Connacht, and their name appears in annals under various spellings that later settled into Lannon and its close forms.
Used as a given name primarily since the late 20th century in North America, Lannon fits the modern surname-as-first-name style and is occasionally chosen for both boys and girls. Variant spellings include Lannan, Lannen, and Lannin; related forms are Lonan (the original Gaelic given name) and Lennon (often from a different Gaelic source, Ó Leannáin, "lover"). For those tracing meaning, Lannon carries the evocative image of the little blackbird.
