Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Gen 11:28

Gen 11:28 · Douay-Rheims
“And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees.”
On this verse:
“Ur--now Orfa; that is, "light," or "fire." Its name probably derived from its being devoted to the rites of fire-worship. Terah and his family were equally infected with that idolatry as the rest of the inhabitants (Jos 24:15).”
