Names That Mean Mountain or Hill

Aaron means “high mountain” in Hebrew, Monty is “of the mountain” from the French, Brynn is simply hill in Welsh, Arlo a fortified hill and Knox “from the round hill”. Hayden and Holden come from Old English valleys, and Yael is the mountain goat of the Hebrew Bible, sure-footed on any slope. High-ground names feel steady and far-sighted, good for a child you hope will take the long view.
