Arun

The meaning of Arun is 'the red glow of rising sun' and 'dawn', according to its Indian and Cambodian origins. The name is commonly used by Buddhists. In Hindu Mythology, Arun is 'the charioteer of the sun'. It also means 'rust-colored', and refers to a spectrum of colors, including shades of orange and red, as well as golden hues. Arun is also derived from Sanskrit works of literature including 'Vedas', 'Bhagvat Purana', and 'Jatakmala'. In these texts, the word means the color 'red' and 'textured.' The name is most commonly found in Nepal, New Zealand, America, Cambodia and India. Arun was particularly common in the United States in the '60s. Used as a surname and first name, it is a masculine form of Aruna, which translates to 'sun.' Its other variation, Aaron, is the middle name of the American singer and icon Elvis Presley. Another notable figure with the name is Aruna Roy, an Indian activist.
