Chanon is a unisex name of Thai origin, derived from the Pali word "Cana" meaning "knowledge". It is pronounced as cha-nohn and has gained popularity worldwide, particularly in Thailand and among those with an interest in Southeast Asian culture. The name Chanon does not have any specific associated saint or day of commemoration, making it a versatile choice for parents seeking a unique name without religious ties.
"Chanon saw its highest birth rate in 1973 with nine babies born that year. The lowest occurred in 1972 and 1987, both years with five births. Between 1970 and 1980, the name's popularity was fairly consistent, ranging from seven to eight births per year. However, there were notable gaps in usage between 1974 and 1975, and again from 1981 onwards."
