A proper personal name designating an individual, Kiljon (Chilion), specifically known as one of the two sons of Elimelech and Naomi (the other being Mahlon) in the book of Ruth. The name's exact meaning is uncertain but is likely derived from a root connoting 'completion' or 'consumption,' possibly implying 'frailty' or 'pining away.'
