Aries
Meaning of Aries
Aries, pronounced AIR-eez, stems from the Latin word for “ram” and has wandered from ancient star charts into modern birth announcements without losing its spirited edge. As the first sign of the Western zodiac and the constellation that heralds the northern spring equinox, the name carries connotations of new beginnings, decisive energy, and a touch of cosmic swagger—qualities parents sometimes hope will nudge a child toward fearless first steps. Mythology buffs may also recall the ram of the Golden Fleece, whose fleece launched Jason’s famous voyage, adding a subtle nod to adventure. Although Aries has never cracked the American Top-500, its steady climb from the 1990s to the mid-2020s suggests that celestial chic and gender-neutral appeal are keeping the horns pointed upward. Altogether, Aries offers a concise, modern sound, a storied past, and just enough astronomical flair to satisfy anyone seeking a name that looks skyward while remaining firmly down-to-earth.
