Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Aran, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: Aran is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in genealogical contexts.

Context: Aran is mentioned in the genealogies of the descendants of Seir the Horite. Specifically, Aran is listed as a son of Dishan, who was one of the chiefs of the Horites. The Horites were an ancient people who inhabited the region of Seir before the Edomites. The mention of Aran is found in 1 Chronicles 1:42, which states: "The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Jaakan. The sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran." This genealogical record highlights the familial connections among the Horites and their integration into the broader narrative of the peoples surrounding Israel. The name Aran, meaning "wild goat," may reflect characteristics valued by the Horites, such as agility and resilience, which are traits associated with mountain goats.
