Here's the official story from Elvis.com:
"Elvis was named after his father, Vernon Elvis Presley, and Mr. Presley's good friend in Tupelo, Aaron Kennedy. Aron was the spelling the Presleys chose, apparently to make it similar to the middle name of Elvis' stillborn identical twin, Jesse Garon Presley. Jesse was apparently named after Vernon's father, Jessie Presley, although the spelling was slightly different.
Toward the end of his life, Elvis sought to change the spelling of his middle name to the traditional and biblical Aaron. In the process he learned that official state records had inexplicably listed it as Aaron, and not Aron as on his original birth records. Knowing Elvis' plans for his middle name, Aaron is the spelling his father chose for Elvis' tombstone, and it's the spelling his estate has designated as the official spelling when the middle name is used today."

Elvis Aaron Presley
January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977
February 1976--Elvis Spells his middle name "Aaron" on a police department form he fills out by hand.
January 8, 1935
In Tupelo, Mississippi, shortly before dawn, in a two-room house built by her husband and her brother-in-law, Gladys Presley gives birth to identical twin sons. The first, Jessie Garon, is born dead. The second, Elvis Aaron, is born alive and healthy. Elvis would be their only child.

Presley's birth certificate uses the spelling Aron, but his estate has designated Aaron as the official spelling of his middle name. It is spelled Aron because of his twin brother that died at birth, Garon, so Elvis would always have a part of his brother with him.
I did not know about the spelling debate. Thanks!

It is Aron, his still born twin was called Aaron so they chose the different spelling for Elvis.

AS A HUGE ELVIS FAN, THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION! I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER BUT I SUSPECT IT IS ARON BECAUSE HIS TWIN BROTHER'S MIDDLE NAME WAS GARON.
