VERNON


'Vernon' is a masculine name that is derived from the Gaul word ''vern'' for Alder tree (also springlike, flourishing, or full of life) and a Gaulish-latin suffix indicating a location. Thus Vernon is a "place of alders". Variants include Vern, Vernard, Verne and Verna. Vernon was introduced into England as an aristocratic surname at the time of the Norman conquest. A Hispanic variant is spelled Vernón, which is in keeping with other two syllable names ending in on such as Colón, or Simón.
