Today, Aaron is one of the most common baby names (popularity 96/100).

It is less common today than at its historical peak.

The name Aaron originates from the Hebrew name אַהֲרֹן (Aharon), which is traditionally interpreted to mean 'high mountain' or 'exalted.' In the Bible, Aaron was the older brother of Moses and the first high priest of the Israelites, giving the name significant religious and historical weight. Its use spread through Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, making it a globally recognized name. Aaron has remained consistently popular in English-speaking countries since the Protestant Reformation, often associated with leadership and wisdom.
