Aranck is Hungarian in Origin.

Aranck is widely cited as an Algonquian name - often linked to Abenaki or the Algonquin language - meaning “star,” with extensions to “sky” or “heavenly one.” Because colonial recorders filtered sounds through French and English, the precise etymon and tribe-specific form remain uncertain; much of its gloss likely derives from 19th–20th‑century wordlists echoed in modern baby‑name sources.

Seldom attested historically as a given name, Aranck has enjoyed a modest modern revival, sometimes chosen to honor Indigenous heritage. Usage today skews masculine but can be unisex. Reported variants include Aranick, Arank, and Aranc; the short form Aran appears but should not be confused with Irish Aran (the islands) or Hebrew Aran. Related ‘star’ names from other Native languages include Anang (Ojibwe) and Taqqiq (Inuktitut).
