Agron refers to two surnames with the same spelling, one Jewish and one Hispanic. [1]
As such, there are two origins, the Hebrew Agron (אגרון) and (with Slavic suffix) Agronsky, [2] [3] and the Spanish and Galician Agrón. [1]
The Jewish names are patronymics of the biblical Aaron, first high priest of the Jews and brother of Moses, and are two of many Jewish surnames related to him. [2] In the United States, the surname is transliterated from "Ahron" in Eastern Europe usage, [1] though "Agron" and "Ogron" were commonly used in Russia. [3]
The Hispanic name is a habitational surname, directly meaning "by the dry ground" [4] and deriving from two towns of the same name, one in A Coruña and one in Granada. [1]
Notable people with the surname include:
