What is the meaning of the name Renon ?

The baby name Renon is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈrɛnən/ (REH-non).

Renon is Breton in Origin.

Renon is a rare given name and surname with several plausible roots. In French contexts it can arise as a pet-form built on René (ultimately from Latin Renatus, “reborn”), using the -on suffix common in medieval hypocoristics; as such it shares lineage with René/Renée, Renatus, Renato. In Italy, Renon is the Italian name of the South Tyrolean municipality Ritten, so Renon also appears as a toponymic surname. Some modern uses reflect a respelling or blending of related names such as Renan or Ronan.

Documented as a surname in France and northern Italy in early modern records, Renon is only intermittently recorded as a given name, gaining modest attention in the late 20th century among parents seeking a sleek, two-syllable alternative to René or Roman. Variants and cognates include René/Renée, Renatus, Renato, Renan; possible short forms are Ren and Nono. The dominant meaning by association is “reborn.”

Renon is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 21 times, across 12 countries.
