Aren is a gender-neutral name of Scandinavian origin for the bravest of little ones. Its significance depends on which classic title it has been inspired by. From the Germanic moniker Arnold, Aren gains the meaning of “powerful eagle.” Aren is also an alternative spelling of the Hebrew name Aaron, a biblical name held by Moses' brother, who was the first high priest of Israel. Its ties to the title offer the connotations “high mountain” or “exalted” from Hebrew and “warrior lion” from Egyptian. Aren may be used as a variation of Erin or Éireann, translating to “Ireland,” so it's a great way to honor your Irish heritage in a more subtle way.
