Meaning of Harun

Harun is a direct Quranic name for boys that is mentioned 20 times in the Quran. It is the name of Prophet Harun (Aaron), brother of Prophet Musa (Moses). The name itself is not Arabic, since Prophet Harun lived before Arabs existed. Some sources say it means “mountain.”

And indeed We gave Musa the Scripture, and placed his brother Harun with him as a helper.(Quran 25:35)

114. And We blessed Musa and Harun.

115. And We delivered them and their people from the terrible disaster.

116. And We supported them, and so they were the victors.

117. And We gave them the Clarifying Scripture.

118. And We guided them upon the straight path.

119. And We left with them for later generations.

120. Peace be upon Musa and Harun.

121. Thus We reward the righteous.

122. They were of Our believing servants. (Quran 37:114-122)

    Can someone name his son Aaron?

    @1: Yes, Aaron is an acceptable name. In Islam all names are acceptable unless there is a good reason to forbid them, and for this reason all Western-style names are acceptable for Muslim children unless the names have a bad meaning. While most Muslims would prefer the Arabic version, you are free to use Aaron instead.
