Meaning: Namon is an uncommon American name whose root is uncertain. It may be a reshaped form of the Hebrew Naaman, 'pleasantness', a biblical figure, or an independent Southern coinage.

History & Origin
Namon is a rare American name of unsettled origin. One plausible reading ties it to the Hebrew Naaman, 'pleasantness', a figure in the Book of Kings; another treats it as a homespun Southern coinage. It saw scattered use from the late eighteen-hundreds onward.
It was never common, a couple dozen boys a year at most around the mid twentieth century, and it faded afterward. A boy given it then would be a grandfather or great-grandfather now, and it reads as an old rare name rather than a current choice.
