What is the meaning of the name Aragorn ?

Aragorn is in Origin.

Aragorn is a modern literary given name coined by J.R.R. Tolkien for the Dúnedain king in The Lord of the Rings. It draws on his Sindarin Elvish lexicon: ara- is a royal or “noble” prefix, and the second element is commonly taken to denote valor or steadfastness. The name is thus widely glossed as “noble/kingly valor,” though Tolkien never published a definitive analysis. In the legendarium the character also bears the epithets Estel (“hope”), Elessar (“Elfstone”), and Strider.

In real-world use, Aragorn appears sporadically from the late 20th century, remaining rare yet highly recognizable through the books and films. Usage rose slightly after the 2001–03 adaptations but has never reached mainstream popularity in English-speaking countries. Variants and lookalikes include Aragon (often a misspelling and also a Spanish place-name). Contemporary nicknames include Ari, Argo, and Ron.
