About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Aarón” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure births. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.

Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.

Universe: Annual first given names of newborns, BEVNAT live-birth statistics, national geography 8100 only. Infostar civil-register data. Regional rows are not added to national totals.
Rounding: Published integer counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only names and cells published in the FSO flows are covered. Literal zero cells are not emitted; absence in NameStoria must not be treated as a complete national zero-frequency claim.
Ranking: FSO RANK observations retained unchanged; zero rank/count pairs omitted.

Aaron— “mountain”
Aaron seems to have been assumed as a name by some of our old British Christians, or else it was accepted as an equivalent for something Keltic, for Aaron and Julius were among our very few British martyrs under Diocletian’s persecution, and a later Aaron was an abbot in Brittany; but it has never been a name in use.[12]
