Meaning & origin
Verdon is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1914, and its peak usage came just two years later in 1916. Despite this brief spike, the name has never recorded more than a handful of births in any given year, and as of 2025 it remains extremely uncommon. The trajectory is stable, meaning it has not experienced a revival or notable fluctuation in the past century. Its origins are likely French, possibly a transferred surname from a place name meaning 'over the hill fort'. Given its obscurity, Verdon may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with a vintage feel, but it has not been associated with any top states or famous bearers.
Verdon is likely of French origin, possibly a transferred use of the surname Verdon, which itself comes from a place name in France. The place name may derive from the Gaulish elements 'ver-' (over) and 'dunon' (hill, fort), meaning 'over the hill fort'. It has seen rare use as a given name, primarily in the early 20th century.
