- Lon Meaning
- Short form of Alonzo and other names containing the same sound. Famous bearers were American actors Lon Chaney Sr. (1883-1930) and Lon Chaney Jr. (1906-1973). The elder's birth name was Leonidas. Lon is a diminutive of Alonzo, itself an Italian variant of Alfonso. Alfonso originates in Germanic languages and means "noble and prepared". As a masculine given name it used to be very popular mainly within Spanish royalty. In modern times, the name itself sounds old-fashioned and its usage is rather rare.
