A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

FELON: A U.S. name. Most probably a corruption of Fallon, which is also found in the States. Ferguson connects Fallon with Fail, and thinks the latter may be from Old Norse feila, pudere; and the former from feilinn, pudibundus. Fallon is rather from the Irish name O'Fallon, said to be a corruption of O'Phelan; from Faolan, whose son Mothea was at Clontarf in 1014. A district in Roscommon was known as O'Fallon's country. O'Connellan gives the O'Faolains or O'Felans, or Whelans, among the Irish chiefs and clans of Desies.
