Aron means mountain of strength or exalted — the single-A variant of Aaron, from the Hebrew. In the Bible, Aaron IS Moses's brother and the first high priest. Elvis Presley's middle name was Aron. East of Eden's Aron IS Steinbeck's most innocent. Two syllables of the first-high-priest, Elvis's-middle-name, and Steinbeck's-most-innocent.
Two syllables with a strong, Hebrew sound: AIR-on.
The single-A streamlines beautifully.
