Lonn is English in Origin.
Lonn is a compact masculine name most commonly viewed as a modern spelling of Lon, itself a short form of Alonzo/Alonso, related to Alfonso. Alfonso derives from the Germanic Adalfuns (adal “noble” + funs “ready, prepared”), giving Lonn the meaning “noble and ready.” In some families, Lon/Lonn has also served as a pet form for names beginning with “Lon-,” though its strongest linguistic tie is to the Alonzo/Alfonso line.
Usage of Lon - and by extension Lonn - rose in the United States in the early to mid-20th century, aided by the fame of actors Lon Chaney Sr. and Jr. Lonn remains rare today, appealing for its minimalist, vintage feel. Notable variants and related forms include Lon, Lonny, Lonnie, Alonzo, Alonso, Alfonso, and Alphonse; feminine counterparts sometimes appear as Lonna or Alonza. In Scandinavia, Lönn/Lonn is also a surname meaning “maple,” occasionally inspiring given-name use.
