The name Cannon is a boy’s name that has ties to several different origins, but its Irish roots are the most apparent. According to its British roots, the name is a variant of the Latin canon, which can be translated as “rule” or “discipline,” and it was given as a compliment to those who adhere to Canon law. Cannon, on the other hand, is thought of as an anglicization of the Irish surname O’Canáin over the Emerald Isle. Created from the Gaelic cana, this uncommon title translates to “wolf cub,” endowing Cannon with a fierce, unyielding nature. Furthermore, the fact that Cannon may be related to an old military weapon makes this already difficult name even more difficult to understand. It is a name that is reserved for only the most courageous individuals since it indicates self-control, loyalty, and looming violence.
