Carion is an ancient and uncommon given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Carinus. It means "strong" or "powerful," reflecting its roots in the Latin word "carus," which signifies dear or beloved. The name was once quite popular among early Christians due to its association with St. Carion, an early bishop of Magona (now known as Portoferraio) on the island of Elba in Italy. Today, Carion remains a rare but intriguing choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child.
"Carion experienced a notable spike in births in 2012 with seven occurrences, while other years showed consistent lower figures ranging between five to six births."
