Auron: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2016.

Auron is a modern variant of the biblical name Aaron, which derives from Hebrew and is thought to mean "mountain of strength" or "high mountain." While no widely known historical figures bear this exact spelling, it shares its heritage with Aaron, the brother of Moses. The name also appears in geography: the River Auron flows through central France, a tributary of the Yonne. In contemporary culture, Auron is best known as a stoic warrior from the video game Final Fantasy X, giving the name a strong, heroic tone. In Scotland, Auron has been a rare but consistent choice since the 1990s, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a classic ancient name.
