I was watching the Toriko anime and a segment at the end of an episode had the older lady being called sama (Setsu-sama) to being Setsu-non (per her request).
The other person said that would make them feel like old friends.
I never heard of the “non” honorific and Google has been useless. What’s it mean and how is it used and where?

its not an honorific. basically the name becomes a nickname example: ayano or aya becomes ayanon
Her name is Setsuno so yeah, just making it more like a nickname.
Nicknames are a funny one. It’s common to add a character or two to the end of a name or surname to make it a nickname
E.g. あや>> あやぽん, みき>> みきてぃー, ゆき>> ゆきりん, よこやま >> よこっち, みさほ >> みさぴょん
