Meaning and background
The story behind Aaron
Aaron is the English form of the biblical name Aharon, carried by Moses’ brother in the Hebrew Bible. Its deeper etymology remains unsettled: an Egyptian source has been proposed, alongside competing Hebrew explanations. An English reading has two syllables, but the name should not be assigned a definite ‘high mountain’ meaning.
