Arathorn his father was king, until he was killed when Aragorn was only 2 years old.

Arathorn was never King or Lord over any realm in Middle Earth. He was
descended from Kings, from Isildur and before him Elendil the Tall. Aragorn was the first King since Earnur king of Gondor rode to his death in battle against the Witch King of Angmar. After Earnur, the Stewards took over Gondor. In Arnor, the northern realm, King Arvedui was the last, but Arnor was defeated by the forces of Angmar.
Sorry, that got a little off topic. Aragorn is a man of many names. His name as King of Gondor is King Elessar, the Elfstone. His Elvish name 'Estel' means 'hope', as in hope for the race of Men and the people of Middle Earth. Telcontar is Elvish for his Ranger nickname, Strider, and it is the name of his royal house. And, as has been said earlier, there are several other names, Thorongil the most well-known, that he has taken.
As for his weaknesses, I do not think he had many. He laboured for many long and hard years to regain the Kingship, and at last he achieved it. The only weakness I can see in him is that at one point he was confused and uncertain about the path he must take to the Kingship, but who of us has not been confused and certain? I certainly do not think that that is a 'weakness' that can be held against him.
Cheers!
