Meaning & Origin
A surname from Irish.
Fallon is a girl's and boy's baby name of Irish origin, from the Irish surname Ó Fallamháin, from the Gaelic fallamhan meaning 'leader' or 'supremacy.' Fallon Carrington, the glamorous and sharp-tongued character in the 1980s soap opera Dynasty, gave the name its most famous pop-culture moment.
Fallon has the patrician confidence of a primetime soap character — sophisticated, strong, and a little unpredictable. It has been climbing steadily as parents rediscover it. With over 11,000 U.S. births, it has real history. A name that always commands attention when it enters the room.
