Michon is French in Origin.
Michon is a rare French given name and common surname, a medieval diminutive of Michel - and by extension, Michelle. The Old French -on suffix formed affectionate pet names (cf. Jeannot from Jean), so Michon means “little Michel,” inheriting the Hebrew sense of Michael: “Who is like God?” It appears in medieval records and later persisted chiefly as a family name in France.
As a first name today, Michon occurs sporadically in France and Francophone North America and can be used for any gender. Variants and related forms include Michel, Michelle, Micheline, and the nickname Michou; modern elaborations such as Michonne also appear. Broader cognates of the root - Michael, Miguel, Michele, Mikhail - share the same theophoric meaning, giving Michon a compact, vintage French spin on a timeless classic.
