Haroon is the Arabic form of Aaron, a name of Hebrew origin meaning "mountain of strength" or "exalted one." In Islamic tradition, Haroon (or Harun) is revered as a prophet and the brother of Moses, who served as his eloquent spokesman before Pharaoh. The name also appears in the Bible, where Aaron was the first High Priest of the Israelites. A notable modern bearer is Haroon Moghul, a Pakistani-American writer and commentator. The name shares its root with the Irish name Aaron, which has been consistently popular in Scotland. Haroon is a common name across the Muslim world, and its variant Harun is particularly widespread in Turkey and South Asia.
