Choosing Harun
Naming a child after a prophet is a sunnah. When his son was born, the Prophet ﷺ said: "A boy was born to me tonight, and I named him after my father, Ibrahim."2 Harun keeps that tradition alive. With the father's name it becomes Harun bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
