Etymology
[edit]There are a few theories on the naming of the community. According to one tradition, the name Ono was selected after all other ideas were rejected by a town elder with "O! No."[4][5] Another likely scenario is that the community was named after the biblical Plain of Ono, likely drawing inspiration from the many fields surrounding the community.
