Channon
Meaning of Channon
Channon derives from the Irish Gaelic toponym Sionainn and functions as a unisex given name within Anglo-American naming conventions. Pronounced /ʃænən/, it represents a variant orthography of Shannon, the name of Ireland’s principal river—etymologically linked to notions of wisdom or “old river” in early lexicographical analyses. U.S. Social Security data reveal an intermittent yet sustained presence: initial registrations emerged in the late 1960s, peaking at seventeen births in 1971 (rank 653), and most recently recording eleven occurrences in 2023 (rank 918). Such quantitative patterns underscore Channon’s technical appeal as a succinct, phonetically balanced, gender-neutral appellation, aligning with contemporary onomastic trends that valorize Gaelic-derived unisex names.
