Karon

Meaning of Karon

When parents pick Karon, they imagine a name that unfurls like warm sunlight over a Mediterranean plaza—rooted in the Latin carus, meaning “dear,” and echoing the Welsh Caron, born of cariad, “love.” It feels both timeless and freshly minted, a gentle breeze carrying whispers of friendship and devotion. Though it first flickered onto U.S. charts in the 1930s with just a handful of boys, by mid-century it reached a peak rank of 514 and today settles in the cozy company of under-900 names—32 newborns were christened Karon in 2024, ranking it 892nd. Its melody, KAIR-uhn, is easy on the tongue and open to playful nicknames, making it a choice that bridges old-world warmth and contemporary spirit with a lighthearted wink.
