| Semantic Range | personal name meaning "servant" or "one characterized by service"; also used as a place name likely denoting a settlement associated with service or labor. |

| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun formed with the -וֹן (-ōn) ending, often indicating a personal or place name derived from a verbal root. |
