Meaning: A classic Hebrew name meaning "mountain of strength" or "exalted."

Aaron is a masculine name with Hebrew roots, derived from Aharon. It means "high mountain," "enlightened," or "exalted." In ancient Egyptian, this name signified "a warrior lion." Aaron is perhaps best known as the name of the first high priest of the Israelites, who was also the brother of Moses. The name gained widespread popularity among Jews and early Christians during the Middle Ages and has since become a popular name globally. Its enduring appeal can be attributed to its strong biblical roots and versatile cultural associations.
