Origin & history of Aaron
Hebrew אַהֲרֹן (Aharon, possibly high mountain/exalted)
→ English Aaron
1
Biblical / Hebrew roots
Aaron comes from the Hebrew Aharon, possibly meaning high mountain or exalted. In Exodus, Aaron is Moses's older brother and serves as his spokesman because Moses stutters. Aaron becomes the first High Priest of Israel and the ancestor of the priestly line. Hank Aaron (1934–2021) broke Babe Ruth's all-time home run record in 1974 while receiving death threats — one of the most courageous acts in sports history. Aaron Burr (1756–1836) was the third Vice President who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel.
