Charnon is a French mechanical term for the hollow knuckle of a hinge or lock that receives the pin joining its parts. It names a component, not the complete hinge. The word alone could also be a surname or another proper noun, so context matters.
What does charnon mean?
Larousse defines the French masculine noun charnon as “Œil d’une charnière, d’une serrure, qui reçoit la broche réunissant les lames” — the eye or hollow knuckle of a hinge or lock through which the pin joining the leaves passes. In English hardware terminology, hinge knuckle or hinge barrel is a useful gloss. Larousse’s definition of charnon.
How is a charnon different from a charnière?
A charnon is the part that holds the pin; a charnière is the complete hinge. Larousse describes a charnière as a rotating fitting made of two leaves, one fixed and one movable, articulated by a pin, and gives “hinge” as its hardware translation. Larousse’s definition of charnière.
Does “Charnon” refer to something else?
Possibly. Without more context, the one-word title does not establish whether Charnon means the French noun, a family name, or another proper noun. It also resembles the title of the unrelated film Charnon Ki Saugandh. IMDb’s listing for Charnon Ki Saugandh.

Can you use this word to choose a replacement hinge?
No. Knowing that a charnon is a hinge component does not identify a compatible replacement. A repair or purchase decision needs details about the actual application, hinge type, dimensions, mounting, material, and load suitability. None of those specifications follows from the word alone.
