Aronas

Aronas is a surname of Lithuanian origin. It is derived from the given name Aaron, which has Hebrew origins and means "high mountain" or "enlightened." The suffix "-as" is a common Lithuanian surname ending.

Surnames like Aronas were often adopted during the process of surname formalization in the Lithuanian Grand Duchy and later, reflecting a patronymic or the ancestor's given name. Therefore, a person with the surname Aronas would likely have been descended from someone named Aaron.

The surname is relatively uncommon and can be found primarily within Lithuania and among Lithuanian diaspora communities. The spelling and pronunciation are generally consistent, though slight variations might exist depending on regional dialects or transliteration practices.
