Haldon is of Scandinavian origin, derived from Old Norse elements 'half' meaning 'half' and 'dun' meaning 'mound'. It is a rare and distinctive given name, particularly in English-speaking countries. The name gained some recognition due to its use by the Haldon family, who were influential in medieval England. However, it has not entered popular usage as a first name in recent times. Those named Haldon today may be honoring their family heritage or simply seeking a unique moniker.
