The name Chanon, of French origin, is derived from the Latin 'Canus', meaning 'hound' or 'dog'. It was traditionally a male given name, often used within French nobility due to its association with hunting and dogs, which were symbols of status in medieval times. Over time, the name has evolved phonetically, with 'Canus' transforming into 'Chanon' through linguistic changes common to many European languages.
