US Popularity:16753
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Greek
Meaning:Servant; One who works or lives near a canal
Ladon is an Anglo-Saxon surname derived from the Old English Ladde, meaning “servant.” It may also stem from the Old English lade, meaning “canal” or “duct for water,” making this an occupational title not just for a servant but also for “one who works or lives near a canal.” In Greek mythology, Ladon was the name of both a river god and the dragon that guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides, which were gifted by Gaea to Hera when she was married to Zeus. Maybe Ladon will be born during the year of the dragon, or perhaps they’ll guard and protect whatever they hold dear. Either way, this masculine name is fitting for lovers of mythology and folklore, while its varied and interesting meanings add to its appeal.
