Leighon is English in Origin.
Leighon is a modern English given name formed as a creative respelling of Leighton and Leigh. Leigh comes from Old English leah 'meadow, clearing', while Leighton is a habitational surname from Old English elements, either leah + tun 'enclosure, settlement' or leac + tun 'leek garden/farm'. As a blend, Leighon carries pastoral 'meadow' imagery and the place-name character of its surname root.
Use as a first name appears in late 20th to early 21st-century English-speaking countries, aligning with surname-style, unisex choices, and is given to boys and girls. Pronunciations vary: LEE-ən (like Leigh + -en) or LAY-ən by analogy with Leighton; some may rhyme with Leon, though it is etymologically unrelated. Related spellings and variants include Leighton, Layton, Leyton, Leighan; short forms Leigh or Lee.
