Genesis 36:23 names him as a son of Shoval (שובל) and grandson of Se'ir of the Beney Chor; his siblings were Alvan (עלון), Manachat (מנחת), Eyval (עיבל) and Shepho (שפו).
1 Chronicles 2:26 has an Onam who was the son of Atarah (עֲטָרָה), the second wife of Yerachme-El ( יְרַחְמְאֵל) ben Chetsron (חצרון) in the family of Yehudah.
The name probably means "strong" and may be linked to the town of Ono (אונו); see also my notes to ON.
