Origin: British

Meaning: Noble valour; Kingly

One of the most famous literary characters in recent memory is Aragorn, the mysterious Ranger of the North, or his alias "Strider" from JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. This series is one of the most beloved high fantasy series of all time, making Aragorn near the top of a well-vetted list of characters. A ranger, king, companion, and shining example of humility, baby could certainly have worse associations to contend with. His name in the invented Sindarin language means "noble valor," giving baby yet another attribute to be inspired by.
