      The name Aries, derived from the Latin word for The Ram, can be traced back to ancient mythology and is deeply rooted in history. In Greek mythology, Aries is associated with the story of the Golden Fleece and the adventures of Jason and the Argonauts. The ram, with its golden fleece, played a significant role in their quest and was later placed among the stars as the constellation Aries. This celestial representation of the ram embodies the strength, leadership, and assertiveness often associated with individuals born under the zodiac sign Aries.

Aries, being the first sign of the zodiac, has been traditionally associated with qualities such as courage, determination, and independence. These characteristics are reflected in the modern-day usage of the name Aries. From astrologers, who still interpret and analyze individuals' birth charts based on their zodiac signs, to parents choosing this name for their children, Aries continues to evoke a sense of power, ambition, and individuality.
