ArchivesGarillon
I thought this was a word in my own language (Spanish) when I heard it and looked for it to no success (Variants I thought of or of which I can think; Garrillon, Garillon, Garillion, Garrillion, Garilion, Garrilion, Gariyon, Garriyon) I tried google... It seems it's a French surname and the fictional placename in a book &/or game... Any knowledge about the meaning of the French surname? (Garillon) Thanks in advance (and sorry for being asking more than answering lately).

Although Jean Tosti (www.jtosti.com/noms) does not treat this name separately he does refer to it under the surname Garion. He writes that Garion is a variant of Garillon, itself a variant of Carillon, which he suggests is a nickname for a bell-ringer. So French - yes.

It could be a variant of Carillon or Garion. This French surname could come from a nickname given to a person who enjoys to ring bells in a church.
See the French site: www.jtosti.com/noms. The surname is extremely rare in France at the moment.

There was some discussion of the meaning of the surname Carrillo earlier, 3rd November and after.
