rajon

Rajon is a masculine given name used primarily in North America and in South Asia. It is commonly considered a variant spelling of Rajan, a name with roots in the Sanskrit word Rājan, meaning "king" or "ruler." In English-speaking contexts, Rajon is often adopted as an anglicized form of this name.

In South Asia, Rajan is widely used across languages such as Hindi, Bengali, and Marathi; Rajon appears in diaspora communities as a distinct spelling that preserves the same root meaning. The name is typically given to boys and is rarely used as a surname.

Notable people named Rajon include Rajon Rondo (born 1986), an American professional basketball player known for his tenure with the Boston Celtics, with whom he won the 2008 NBA Championship. He has played for several other NBA teams, contributing to the name’s international recognition.

Related names include Rajan, Rājan, and Rajendra, which share the same origin and root meaning. The spelling Rajon reflects a modern, phonetic approach to rendering the traditional name in English-speaking contexts.
