Meaning & Story
Aaron comes from the Hebrew name Aharon, whose meaning is uncertain but may derive from the Egyptian root meaning high mountain or exalted, or possibly from a Semitic root meaning warrior or strong. In the Bible, Aaron was the elder brother of Moses and first High Priest of Israel, making the name one of the oldest continuously used names in Jewish and Christian tradition. For pets, Aaron is a warm, solid, biblical classic.
Aaron is a name with three thousand years of continuous use and a biblical gravitas that sits surprisingly comfortably on a male companion who probably has strong opinions about mealtimes and the correct location of his sleeping spot. The elder brother of Moses makes an excellent patron for a companion who is calm, reliable, and slightly more dignified than the chaos around him would seem to warrant. A name that is simultaneously ancient and completely at home in a modern household.
