Haran 
There are four Harans mentioned in the Bible. The first Haran is a son of Terah and brother of Abraham and Nahor (and the half-brother of Sarah). This Haran is the father of Lot. Haran is also the name of the city where Abram's family settled. A third Haran is a son of Caleb and Ephah(1 Chr 2:46). A fourth one is a Levite of the family of Gershon (1 Chr 23:9).
The name Haran is probably derived of the word (har 517a) meaning hill, mountain. The post-fixed nun serves as a personification (Hill Guy). As such the name Haran is distantly similar to Aaron.
A funny detail is that the word (hara 515) means to be with child, to be pregnant. The derived noun (hara 515a) means pregnant and the noun (herayon 515c) means conception or pregnancy.
The name Haran means Mountaineer (Jones) or Mountainous (NOBSE).
