There are two meanings of Haran in the Bible:
"1. Haran, Charan, or Charran is a place mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Haran is almost universally identified with Harran, an Assyrian name of the Hurrian city whose ruins lie within present-day Turkey. Haran first appears in the Book of Genesis as the home of Terah and the latter's descendants, and as Abraham's temporary home. Later biblical passages list Haran among some cities and lands subjugated by Assyrian rulers and among Tyre's trading partners.
2. Haran or Aran is a man in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. He died in Ur of the Chaldees (Ur Kasdim), was a son of Terah, and brother of Abraham. Through his son Lot, Haran was the ancestor of the Moabites and Ammonites, and through his daughter Milcah he was ancestral to the Aramaeans."
