Researcher's Note

Elvis Presley’s middle name

Presley’s parents decided to spell his middle name Aron so it would match the spelling of the middle name of his stillborn twin brother, Jessie Garon. Presley preferred the biblical spelling of the name, Aaron, and sometime in the year before his death he decided to legally change Aron to Aaron. Upon obtaining a copy of his birth records, Presley learned that the state of Mississippi had mistakenly spelled his middle name Aaron. Presley adopted that spelling, and it was used on his tombstone.
