Ganong does come from Guenon which in turn comes from the Germanic name Wano, from wan- 'hope'. The origin is definitely not guenon 'female monkey'. As for Galusha, the information given at rootsandrelatives.net/showmedia.php?mediaID=460 point to the placename Galuchet in Cher (Centre) as a probable origin.
