Lidon is Catalan, Spanish in Origin.

Lidon is a Spanish given name, especially in the Valencian Community, derived from the Catalan toponym Lledó, “hackberry grove,” related to lledoner “hackberry tree.” It became a devotional name through the cult of the Mare de Déu del Lledó, patron of Castelló de la Plana; many women were named in her honor, sometimes as María Lidón. Because Spanish orthography often accents it, Lidón is the usual local form, while Lidon appears in international records without the diacritic.

Usage is most concentrated in Castellón and nearby areas from at least the 18th century, with modest modern revival alongside other regional names. Variants and related forms include Lidón, Lledó (Catalan), and compound María del Lledó; hypocoristics such as Lidi or Lido occur informally. The name also exists as a surname in Spain and France. Meaning centers on “the (place of the) hackberry,” evoking rootedness and protection.
