What is the meaning of the name Addon ?

The baby name Addon is a Male name , 2.0 syllables long and is pronounced AD-dən (ˈæd.ən).

Addon is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Addon is a rare biblical name, appearing in Nehemiah 7:61 (KJV) as Addon, parallel to Ezra 2:59's Addan; likely a place or family associated with returnees from Babylon. Its etymology is uncertain, but many link it to Hebrew 'adon, 'lord, master,' the root behind Adonai, giving a possible sense of 'lordly' or 'my lord,' though this is not firmly established.

Variants include Addan and Adon; related yet distinct are Adan (often the Spanish form of Adam) and Adin. In English-speaking contexts, Addon has seen scant historical use, occasionally adopted by parents seeking an obscure scriptural choice; modern ears may also hear the tech term 'add-on.' The name fits current two-syllable trends alongside Aidan and Addison, yet remains uncommon, lending it a quiet, antique character; nicknames Add and Don are possible.
