Spanish: of uncertain origin. Theoretically it could be a
variant of vallón, from valle ‘valley’, but neither
form is attested as a vocabulary word or as a place name
element. Alternatively, it could be a Castilian spelling of Catalan
Batlló, Balló, nicknames from diminutives of
batlle ‘dancing’.English: variant spelling of
Balon.
