Character Breakdown
Note: Reads as the name "Aaron" to native speakers; the characters are chosen for sound, so don't expect a poetic meaning. Traditional form 亞倫 differs from simplified 亚伦; pick one script and keep it consistent. Use a proper calligraphy font and have a native speaker check the final stencil (stroke order and orientation).
