Meaning & origin
Garlon is an extremely rare masculine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1913. It never achieved enough usage to rank nationally, and the Social Security Administration has recorded fewer than five births in most years. The name saw its highest recorded usage in 1915, during its peak year, but that still amounted to only a handful of babies. Despite a slight uptick in the 1910s, Garlon has remained consistently obscure, with no states reporting it as a top name. Its trajectory is stable but virtually nonexistent, making it one of the rarest names in the database. The name's origin is likely a creative combination inspired by similar-sounding names like Garland, ending with the fashionable suffix -on.
Garlon appears to be a 20th-century American coinage, perhaps formed from the popular name Garland combined with the suffix -on. It has never achieved widespread use and remains very rare.
