masculine · English origin
Aaron is an English and cross-cultural given name derived from the Hebrew Aharon, whose precise root meaning is uncertain; proposed etymologies include a connection to a Hebrew word meaning high mountain or exalted, though Egyptian origin has also been suggested. In the Hebrew Bible, Aaron is the elder brother of Moses and the first high priest of the Israelites, making the name deeply significant in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Its wide adoption across European languages produced variants including Aarón in Spanish, Aäron in Dutch, and Harun in Arabic.
