Nealon Origin and Meaning

The name Nealon is a boy's name meaning "descendant of Niallan".

An unexpected last name as a first name, Nealon is in tune with Lachlan, Keegan, and Nolan. Deriving from Irish roots, is a diminutive form of Niall or Neal, making it a potential honor name, and giving it the meaning "little cloud", "little hero", or "little victory".

Used very occasionally as a first name over the last three decades, it is more often seen in the last name spot, with notable bearers including actor and comedian, Kevin Nealon and author Louise Nealon.
