Meaning & origin
Danon is an extremely rare given name for boys in the United States. According to Social Security Administration records, it was first recorded in 1963 and has never entered the top 1000. Its peak year of usage was 1975, though even then it was infrequent. The name is not a common variant of the more familiar Daniel or Dan; rather, it is likely derived from the Sephardic Jewish surname Danon. Because the name is so uncommon, it has no top states of popularity and has maintained a stable trajectory of minimal usage over the decades. Danon remains a distinctive, infrequently chosen name for boys.
The name Danon is rare as a given name and appears to derive from the Hebrew surname Danon, which itself is a variant of the biblical name Dan, meaning 'judge' (Hebrew דָּן). The surname Danon is commonly found among Sephardic Jewish communities, particularly those originating from the Ottoman Empire. As a first name, Danon has seen occasional use in the United States since the mid-20th century, with a recorded peak in 1975.
