What does the baby name “Hellon” mean?

Origin of the baby name Hellon

The doubled consonant and on ending give this rare form a strong, almost regal sound that sets it apart from its more familiar relatives. While its precise origin is uncertain, it most plausibly shares the luminous Greek heritage of Helen and its many worldwide variations, and may also reflect influence from the broader Hellenistic cultural tradition.
