Aron -
evergreen, but special

For more than 140 years, parents decide to name their son Aron annualy. This means that there have been boys named Aron who witnessed the first Labor Day parade in the U.S. or followed Albert Einstein's career. The name has 'always been there', but never ranked in the top 100, and thus men named Aron have consistently been special. The name became especially popular in the last quarter of the last century and there was one year in particular when parents of Generation X and Generation Y rather came up with the idea of naming their child Aron: in 1979, it holds its present record of #419 in the ranking of the most popular boys' names.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Aron was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
