Huon is a boy’s given name and surname of French origin. As a French name, it may be a variant of John, which derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious.” The name Huon is also popular in Australia, where it’s associated with the Huon Valley in Tasmania. Together with the Huon River and the Huon Pine, this beautiful region takes its name from Jean-Michel Huon de Kermadec, a French navy officer. Whether your roots are French, Australian, or both, choosing this rare John variant could be a great way to honor them.
