- Cardon
Description:
Cardon is a masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from the Old French word 'chardon' meaning 'thistle' or from the Latin 'carduus' with the same meaning. Alternatively, it could be related to the English surname Carden, which referred to someone from the place named Garden or Carden, or to the Spanish surname Cardón. The name has a strong, contemporary sound despite its historical roots. While uncommon as a first name in most English-speaking countries, Cardon has seen modest usage in parts of the United States, particularly in Utah and Idaho, possibly influenced by prominent Mormon families with this surname. Its distinctive sound and natural connection make it appealing to parents seeking an uncommon but accessible name.
