History & Origin

Areon is a variant of Arion, a name from Greek tradition. Arion was a celebrated poet and lyre-player of legend, rescued from the sea by a dolphin, and also the name of a magical, swift-footed horse in myth. Areon carries that classical resonance in a gentler spelling. Its American use has always been light.

Areon was never a common name. It appeared in United States records only in small numbers, given to fewer than twenty girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-nineties.
