Onan is a biblical figure. Yahweh killed his brother, then told Onan to impregnate his brother's widow. Onan pulled out, so Yahweh killed him, too. It's a charming story from Genesis 38.

Over time, the word "Onanism" came to refer to pulling out, jacking off, or just generally being a pervert in the eyes of others.
