History & Origin
Lonn is a trimmed, doubled-consonant spelling of Lon, itself short for Lonnie or Alonzo. The extra n gives the plain nickname a bit more heft on the page while keeping its brisk single-syllable sound.
The spelling was always rare, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak, a minor variant of the more common Lon and Lonnie. A man named Lonn from the late nineteen-sixties would be in his late fifties today. It reads as a compact, no-frills mid-century name.
