Don't know about Lonnie.

Answer 2

The dictionaries of first names that I consulted give "Lonnie" as a nickname for "Alonzo"; Lon Chaney, however, was really named Leonidas (evidently accented on the second syllable).

"Hepburn" is an English and Lowland Scottish surname, derived from two different place names in northern England. According to the New Dictionary of American Family Names, it means either "high tumulus" (mound) or "dog-rose tree/brook." ("Burn" is a Scottish/Northern English word for "Brook.") The family name of James, Earl of Bothwell, the third and last husband of Mary Queen of Scots, was Hepburn. Katherine and Audrey Hepburn both used their real names professionally but are not known to have been related.

That's probably more than you wanted to know!

Answer 3

Lonnie is probably a pet name for Alonzo. Hepburn is from a Scottish place name Hebron or Hebburn, County Durham. Meaning high burial ground.

English: of uncertain origin, possibly an Anglicized or pet form of the Spanish name Alonso, but just as likely a variant of Lenny. It is chiefly associated in Britain with the skiffle singer Lonnie Donegan, famous in the 1950s and 1960s.
