Veldon is an uncommon and unique name of Scandinavian origin, derived from Old Norse elements 'veldr' meaning 'to rule' or 'to own', and 'hauðr' meaning 'battle'. The name was popularized by the Norwegian explorer Vebjørn Seland, who named his son Veldon in honor of his Viking ancestors. Today, Veldon remains a rare choice but carries with it a strong historical legacy of power, leadership, and courage.
The name Veldon appears to have been relatively popular from the early 1900s to the mid-1960s, with a total of 240 babies given this name over that period. The years with the highest number of births were 1931 and 1959, each with 12 and 7 births respectively. However, there was no consistent trend of increase or decrease in popularity throughout these decades.
