Aaron is an anglicised
Hebrew masculine given name. Its English form is derived from the Hebrew name "
Aharon" (אהרן) which is most likely of
Ancient Egyptian origin from "aha rw" meaning "warrior lion", or from
Aaru, the Egyptian heaven ruled by Osiris, According to other theories, the name could be derived from various Hebrew roots meaning "high mountain", "mountain of strength", "exalted", or "enlightened", or "bearer of martyrs".
