Meaning and origin of Arron
Arron is often said to mean “variant of Aaron, of uncertain meaning”; the origin is uncertain, though it is usually linked to Hebrew roots.
Arron is a variant of Aaron, the name of the elder brother of Moses and the first high priest of Israel in the Hebrew Bible. The meaning of Aaron is uncertain; it may come from an Egyptian source, and suggestions such as exalted or high mountain are not settled. The spelling with -rr- is especially common in Britain and Ireland. It is said EHR-uhn or AIR-uhn. Related forms include Aaron, Aron and the Arabic Harun. The double r gives the familiar name a slightly different look without changing how it sounds.
