Aroon

More popularly used as an alternative spelling to the popular Hindi name, Arun, the mythic charioteer of the dawn, Aroon is also used as an Irish term of endearment, loosely translating to "darling" or "oh darling.

More literally, it comes from a a rún meaning "love", "secret" or "intention", which may well connect it to the Old Norse and Old Germanic runo relating to magic, runes, and secrets. In fact, there isa very similar Icelandic name.

Coming back to its Irish roots, Aroon is the name of the heroine of Molly Keane's classic novel of the Anglo-Irish gentry, Good Behaviour and is heard in the song Eileen Aroon (Eibhlín a Rún). It is rarely actually used as a given name.
