Meaning of the name Aragorn

[Lostgaeriel]

Really! Royal TREE! Thanks Elrian! I was hoping it might. Would like some confirmation from one more source/expert, although I do trust your knowledge.

I checked the Barrow Downs encyclopaedia and did a SEARCH in the various forums - I even checked another Tolkien website [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] (And I forgot to bookmark it - can't remember what it was!) - it had a very good encyclopaedia - but gave "no known meaning" for Aragorn other than "noble".

Now maybe I'll finish my VERY LONG essay on the Trilogy and the Bible that I've been working on for weeks and post it to the existing thread in BOOKS. I hate to inflict such a wordy, but JUST-FOR-FUN [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] post on people, but I really want to explore it and get some literary discussion going. And I'm trying to write it in a non-offensive way - thus the delay. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
