Aharon is a common boy’s name in Israel. While its variant Aaron has coveted the spotlight for long, this spelling is how it first appears in the Old Testament, in which it’s borne by one of the most important characters. And it’s come to mean “of the mountains,” or “mountaineer,” to imply a tremendous show of faith and courage. All its namesakes including, Aharon Barak, the former President of the Supreme Court of Israel, are examples of how the moniker helps steel baby for whatever life throws at them. Since there’s no evidence to the contrary, go ahead and set your little one up for success, won’t you?
