Ram, in the Latin astronomical-name association.
The exact English astronomical entry traces Aries to Latin aries, ram. This describes the constellation/zodiac word association, not proof of any particular family’s naming intention or a prediction of personality. Greek Ares is a separate name; English homophony does not make Aries the Greek god. The old rejected claim remains preserved.
Latin astronomical name tradition; distinct from Greek Ares.
The dictionary documents the Latin-derived astronomical name. This is a named-word association available to modern given-name use, not a universal etymology assigned to every bearer. It does not identify nationality or religious beliefs, and no astronomical-word pronunciation is automatically published as a personal-name reading.

Aries names the ram constellation and zodiac sign, from Latin for ram; its surname entry records distinct Scottish and French routes. Ares is the Greek god of war. The earlier licensed Greek-god meaning is withheld for review because these spellings should not be conflated. A universal personal-name meaning or origin is not assigned from the constellation or surname entry alone. Adapted and condensed by Rare Baby Names.
