Meaning and background
The story behind Aragon
Aragon has a geographical surname history: Spanish Aragón and a southern French form identify someone connected with the Spanish region. The region took its name from the Aragón River. The dictionary cautiously suggests a Basque relationship for the river name, including a possible “high valley” interpretation. That final step remains uncertain, so the strong evidence is the regional connection rather than a guaranteed literal translation of Aragon.
- Origin
- Spanish and southern French habitational surname from Aragon, Spain; the river-name derivation is uncertain. Source
