How did "Aaron" get his two "a"s when transliterated from Hebrew?

Can I tell my Ellis-Island Jewish name joke?

I also have a request pending in another thread for a different joke.

Then it was only single witty because that was why I said it.

In fact, they may be variations on the names of local Mesopotamian deities, Marduk and Ishtar.

By all means, Leo, please tell us.

Aaron is my IRL name. Woot!
