Aaron m
Biblical: name of the brother of Moses, who was appointed by God to be Moses' spokesman, and became the first high priest of the Israelites (Exodus 4: 14–16;7: 1–2). It is of uncertain origin and meaning but most probably, like MOSES (SEE Moses), of Egyptian rather than Hebrew origin. The traditional derivation from Hebrew har-on ‘mountain of strength’ is no more than a folk etymology. The name has been used fairly infrequently by Christians, rather more commonly by Jews.
Variants: Jewish: Aharon (Hebrew); Arn (Yiddish).
Pet form: Yiddish: Arke.
