Maion is Gaelic in Origin.
Maion is a rare cross-cultural given name with roots in both Greek and Semitic traditions. In Ancient Greek, Maion (Μαίων; Latinized Maeon) appears as a personal name in myth and epic and also functions as an ethnonym connected to Maeonia, the poetic name for Lydia; by that reading, it carries the sense “Lydian” or “of Maeonia.” Some also see a theonymic link to Maia, the name behind the month of May, though this derivation is less certain. In Hebrew, Ma’on (מָעוֹן) means “dwelling, habitation; refuge” and names a biblical town, and Maion can arise as a transliteration variant.
Historically attested in classical sources yet seldom used as a given name, Maion today is an uncommon, often gender-neutral choice favored for its sleek sound and layered meanings. Variants and cognates include Maeon, Maon, Maïon (French-style), and Maión (Iberian accenting).
