Fun fact
Árón is the Irish form of Aaron, the brother of Moses in the Bible. It has a fada over the first A and the o. So it belongs to a familiar name family, but has its own Irish spelling.
Popularity in Ireland
Figures for the spelling Árón, Republic of Ireland.
The CSO only publishes names given to three or more babies in a year. “Less than 3” means zero, one or two babies, and these years appear as gaps on the graph.
Number of babies registered each year
From 2018, spellings with and without fadas are counted separately. Earlier figures group these spellings together, so the graph has a break at 2018.
