The surname Hannon, also spelled as Hannan, and sometimes preceded by the O', indicating "descendant of" in Irish Gaelic, has its roots in ancient Irish history. The "O'Hannon" version is an anglicization of the original Irish "Ó hAnnáin," which is derived from the forename Annán. The exact origin and meaning of the name Annán are somewhat unclear, but it may be related to the word "áin," meaning "brilliant" or "radiant."

Historically, the Hannon family is said to have originated from County Clare on the west coast of Ireland, where they were a sept of the larger Dál gCais tribe, a prominent Irish kin group to which the famous Brian Boru also belonged. Over time, families with the surname Hannon migrated to various other parts of Ireland.

The O'Hannons would have lived through significant historical events, including the Norman invasion of Ireland, the Tudor conquest, and the subsequent English colonization, which often led to the suppression of native Irish names and culture. Many Irish surnames, including O'Hannon, were anglicized during these periods.

The widespread emigration from Ireland in the 19th and early 20th centuries, largely due to poverty and famine, particularly the Great Famine of the 1840s, resulted in the distribution of Irish surnames worldwide. Those bearing the name Hannon settled in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK, further spreading and establishing the surname globally.
