Reedon is English in Origin.

Reedon (REE-dən) is a modern English given name with surname flavor. It most plausibly blends Reed (Old English hreod “reed,” also a Scots form linked to “red-haired”) with the productive -on ending signifying “belonging to/son of.” As such, meanings range from “dweller by the reeds” to “descendant of the red-haired one.” It also overlaps with rare surnames like Redon and with Irish-influenced Reardon, giving it a pan‑anglophone footprint.

Usage is recent and uncommon, appearing in late‑20th and early‑21st century baby lists in the U.S., Canada, and Australia; it fits the trend of nature‑leaning, two‑syllable names with -on endings. Typically masculine but viable as unisex. Variants/spellings: Reeden, Reidon, Readon; related forms include Reed, Reid, Reardon, Redon. Nicknames: Reed, Ree.
