"Aaron - name meaning"
Posted by Cathy the Canadian on 05-26-05 at 07:11 AM
I don't know if the writers are into symbolism, or are just picking names out of a hat - but for what it's worth...

Aaron - "Shining light, high mountain, messenger"
"A teacher, lofty, mountain of strength"

Biblically, Aaron was Moses's brother, and the first high priest of the Israelites.

Read more about the biblical Aaron here:

Some other name meanings, taken from this web site -

Kate - "Pure"
Claire - "Clear. Bright"
Charlie - "Man"

Aaron - "Shining light, high mountain, messenger"

Good. I was nervous that Turniphead was going to be 'Rosemary's Baby', but this must mean that the little gaffer is not on the dark side.

I thought it was interresting that Sun asked Claire what "Aaron" meant. That's what made me want to look it up.

Hopefully he won't be a rosemary's baby - thought the biblical Aaron wasn't always perfect.

"Sun and Jin"

Forgot Sun and Jin:

Sun - Korean meaning - "goodness"
Jin - Korean meaning - "Gold, truth, treasure, pearl"
